RE: i want to talk about something

Gibblet:

If I weren't so tired from working in the shop7 days a week and up to 16 hours a dayfor the past 4 months, I'd sit here and work up a lengthy response. Basically there are many reasons why tournament shooters shoot the style form that they do and many reasons why hunters shouldn't emulate them. The problem is that hunters have copied tournament form for many years because they 'appear' to shoot so well.

Well, they do shoot well, but in their environment. And that environment is nothing like a hunting environment. Think about it for a minute. Time to practice before the first shot is taken, 2 minutes to take a shot, excellent to moderate climate, limited clothing,shooting at a stationary target, shooting in good to excellent lighting,shooting lower poundage,etc.

However, a hunting environment is very different and the form must be accommodating. The draw length will be different but the essentialanchors must always be maintained.

Good night.
