Default RE: Compound or recurve?

To show you the level of consistancy you can have, Flhunters son, Eric, was up here to hunt with Len and I 3 years ago. The boy is fantastic. He can shoot better than a lot of compound folks. He can cut X's all day long. He's just plain deadly. He practiced and practiced and still practices religiously. He will make you shake your head. He shot 2 deer in two days at our place. I found some scrapes and things a week before they came and stayed out of that area to give Eric or Flhunter a chance at him. When Eric got here I took him out, showed the spot to him and we hung a stand. That night he shot a smaller deer and the next morning shot this one. I'm sure Eric could outshoot a lot of compound shooter here. He's always at the top of the heap in tournaments. Eric and his Dad, Flhunter who is also a very accomplished archer with compound and trad equip. Note the blood right where they heart is. Both deer were shot in the same spot. If I remember correctly he dressed at 168 or 166 and only made it 20 yards.
