1. Either. Both are very simple and just DEADLY on deer. I would say extra precautions need to be taken w/ the blinds, but I wouldn't say one is better than the other. I have both, and hunt from both. Admittedly, I hunt out of my stand far more than the blind.

2. Both trad and a compound will killa deer dead. Dead is dead, no matter how you cut it. I suppose a compound is easier, but if you can shoot a trad good....man, you got it made! RESPECT!!

3.Uh, yeah. Very hard. It's hard enough when you only have to get w/in 150 yards, much less 25!!
