I just wanted to get everyone elses opinion on bow accuracy, and one's ability to accuratelty place a shot on any target or animal. I have been bowhunting for 2 years, and have never killed a deer. However two weeks ago I shot a nice Rio Grande Turkey at my 30yard marker. After killing the turkey I was congratulated by a few other hunters saying that was a heck of an accomplishment with a bow. When I asked how so? They all replied with the same answer "That's one small target to hit at 30 yards with a bow". Well I don't think so. I think anything shot with a bow is worth mention, but a shot placed at 30 yards on what amounted to a 6" circle is in my book no great feat. What I am trying to say is that if a person can't consistantly hit a 3" to 4" circle at a given distance he shouldn't be hunting with a bow. How ethical is it to put no real limitations on ones self? That turkey is actually larger than the kill zone on my 3D target. If I couldn't hit him then I would have been quite concerned with either my equipment or my abilities. When I shoot at my targets I try to achieve same hole hits. I mean I shoot one arrow, and then try to hit it with the consectutive ones. If I can't I adjust something or if I keep getting a flyer I either fix that arrow or get rid of it. I guess my gripe is with all of the bad hits that get posted. I just wonder what is to blame. I know if it were up to the guys I mentioned earlier the blame would have been on their standards. Raise the bar in my opinion, and give these animals the respect they deserve. If you can't knowingly hit turkey sized game then why even try for a deer that could easily escape wounded, and never be recovered. Just my opinion.
