Just as a general statement, I'd say bowhunters as a group are far more prone to exagerating than even fisherman are. Mostly it's a macho thing. My experience is that the average bow hunter says his bow is set5 pounds heavier than it really is, and the actual setting is 5 pounds heavier than the fellow can properly handle. He also exagerates the draw length and the speed he is getting by at least 10% so do I think guys are as accurate as they say they are? Not even close... but of course I could be exagerating somewhat. [/blockquote]



How'd the old Budweiser commercial go? True, true...

Unless of course he's been taken care of by a reputable dealer. Most everyone I know shoots through a chrony and Len hasconverted their draw length to be right. I suspect most bowhunters are better than you think. They all want to know their speed, their K.E., and their draw length so they can buy the correct arrow. How else would you get the arrows near correct. I find most bowhunters to be tinkerers, anal retentive almost when it comes to the smallest thing .... and they're definitely as a whole the best hunters in the woods. I think the exaggerators are the exception, not the rule.
