Ihave usedtrad. equiptment and have killed deer with it. When both trad. and compound hunters practice a lot, the compound wins hands down every time. To verify this, go to the NFAA website and look at the scores of the top trad. winner vs the top BHFS winner ( sight pins and release). My question is, when it comes to killing an animal, why would anyone want to make it harder? Does trad. equiptment wound and lose more animals than compound equiptment? What is more humane? If you want hard, why not hunt with a spear?
