" Oh brother...

The only REAL differences between recurve, longbows, and compounds is the let-off and some speed. THAT'S IT!!! They can ALL be shot with releases, sights, stabilizers, etc. You're peeing & moaning about different BOWS (recurve, LB, & compound), when the REAL difference is in what accessories the shooter CHOOSES to utilize.

Do you think that a person could pick up a stripped-down compound (no sights, release, or anything other than a simple rest) and be proficient with it in more, or less, time then he or she would take to be proficient with a recurve equiped with sights, a release, and a stabilizer? It ain't the BOW...it's the accessories that separate the two!

A gunstock, 100& letoff, and a trigger are NOT accessories on a crossgun...they're part of the design itself.

Not only won't your dog hunt, but it won't even lift it's leg to pee on the fence post.

Thats the post you made on the LW. My response led us into the direction of who shoots short Axle to Axle bows etc etc. So you are right, I lumped you with those that say its all about drawing the bow. What IS your opinion then ? That because a crossbow has accessories mounted to it as opposed to people putting them on later or to help them get better groups, that its different in that way ? I will edit the previous post and remove that association, I was wrong there. I would like to see your opinion though if the above quote isn't accurate ??
