SC,
It's not too hard for you to make your point when
you define the equipment. The thing that has been shown to you, time and time again, on this forum and many others, and you refuse to acknowledge, is the fact that the
only thing that separates compounds from trad bows
is the let-off...period!
You seem to assume that
all compounds are shot with sights and a release. You also assume that
all trad bows have wood risers and are shot without accessories. You were, are, and will probably always continue to be, wrong in that respect. Since it fits into your argument though, it's unlikely to change.
I know folks who shoot trad bows with sights, releases, launcher rests, stabilizers, etc.
I also know folks that shoot compounds with just a simple Flipper rest, and nothing else. Myself included for a number of years.
Here's a newsflash...sights, releases, mechanical arrow rests, mechanical broadheads, and stabilizers were
all invented long before the first compound bow ever hit the market. <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
Every time this is pointed out to you, you go in a big circle and start chasing your tail again. Maybe this time it'll stick. I doubt it though. Dozens of people have given you countless examples of this on various BBS's, and you just ignore them each and every time.
You seem to have an inability to differentiate
attachements and
accessories from the bows themselves.
When you finally understand the
real differences between the two, we can talk. Until then it's a pointless debate since you refuse to understand the very equipment you are debating.
And yes, the more I read these crossgun threads that you start for no apparent reason, time and time again, I start to think that what Reylamb said about "bitterness" is correct.
JRW (With no idea why I'm wasting my time with this again)
