MOTOWNHONKEYyou don't shoot a trad bow, enough said. Until you do, you can't comment really on it. Sorry Charlie
He said he asked a trad guy if he could make a 20 yd shot (most every time) count with his trad bow. The guy replied that he could. Rob/Pa said ...so could he.....so the REAL challenge is REALLY getting them to that 20 yds, now......isn't it??????
yes and no
the trad guy isn't as accurate as the compounder. 99.9 % of the time this is true, with the rare trad guy like Ferguson or Schafer. Also, with compounds you have a triggered release, pins and sights, but most importantly, you have high letoff that allows you to draw without it seeing you draw most often. You can draw and hold - invaluable. also, the power compounds give is a huge deal.
So its way, WAY more than what the above says it is.
Traditional is WAY harder and if you don't think so you are only fooling yourself; not me.
bingo
and thats not to discount the compounder - killing a deer with a compound is an accomplishment too. but its not nearly as hard
SBGobblers do you want a fact ?
I can take your compound, you take my recurve, and we'll shoot at pop cans at 20 yards for $100 a can.
Wanna play ? I'll take every bit of money you have in savings.
Also, you can put your bow down for 6 months, and pick it up and shoot 4" groups no problem. Trad hunters have a very hard time doing that.
THATS how easy compounds are to shoot. They are DESIGNED to be easy, and thats why they are the #1 choice of bowhunters.
Easy is engrained in human nature. Its something thie society we live in creates and bolsters. Few people take to the lesser traveled, harder path
