IMO, many of the same people that feel that less practice is required due to using a compound are the same people that end up flubbing the shot because they never made it to autopilot due to a lack of serious practice time.
That could be true. But I have seen 3-d superstars fail repeatly in the woods on the same note. And I have seen people with "nerves of steal", who don't consistantly practice (who dust the bows off a week or two before the season) or compete thoughout the year never falter when that big buck walks in.
Of course I don't advocate not practicing.
Point taken. Once again, this is just my opinion, but like anything else most guys will benefit greatly from more practice than going in cold. For me, I just like to shoot. A by product of that is when the moment of truth comes I really don't think about my shot other than picking a spot. Everything else happens on it's own.
This is a good topic.
