Boy, what a winding thread! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> SC is mostly right though. Having instructed kids for around 20 years on archery, it has become very clear that for some individuals it does not take very many shots with a modern compound to shoot very well in a very short period of time. But, bowhunting is not just shooting. Bowhunting is a specialized sport that takes years to learn all the 'angles' associated for big game hunters. Would I recommend someone shooting 4 arrows go hunting? No I wouldn't even though that person could shoot.

Just an interesting thing I have noticed over the years. I started shooting a recurve in 1960 and actually became proficient enough to do well in outdoor tournaments. I held out for several years refusing to join the compound gang. When I finally did it ways very easy to adapt. By observing many shooters over the years it became very apparent that people starting with compounds actually had significant problems with traditional equipment.

Finally, lets let hunters use what they use and get what enjoymant they can out of the hunt. It's a personal choice!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
