stealthy, the xbow and rifle hanging there. You put it to your shoulder, flip off the safety, look through the scope, pull the trigger.
The compound and trad bow hanging there. You pull it back, hit your anchor, release the string. As stated by others, some shoot bare bow and some with accessories, both type bows.
What type of bow or xbow you use has absolutely nothing to do with how close you get. I agree compounds have a longer affective range, but that doesn't necessitate taking long shots. In the thick stuff I hunt, 25 yds is a long way to see clearly. Just because you carry a trad bow doesn't make getting close easier or harder. I can hit what I shoot at, I find getting close the real fun/challenge.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
