Sylvan,

I think some of "our" points got lost in the paragraphs of previous posts...... When I go hunting, I want to kill something...... The kill in and of itself doesn't make or break the hunt for me..... But have no doubt, my intentions are to kill...... I think what we were trying to say isthat we have selected a weapon with far less capabilities than the compound, b/c for many of us, the kill isn't as important as the entire experience..... The kill is still part of it, but not the key stone........We value the hard work and dedication required to become profficient with the weapon.... We have earned the right to make the shot through many hours and thousands of arrows loosed...... The arrow's flight is actually part of us and not some mechanical device..... My brain determined where to hold the arrow, not some 10 pin sight...... It's a different state of mind..... I want to feel like I made the perfect shot, not the engineer for xyz bow company.....
