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).
I won't argue that point with you Greg, a compound is a more precise weapon.
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?
Following your logic why would anyone useANY bow over a gun? A gunCAN (in the hands of a proficient, ethical shooter) certainly be more humane than a bow. Why do you use a bow? I think it's because you get more out of your hunt when you use one. Same reason applies to traditional. Neither one is the "right" answer for everyone. In this case it is relative and everyone hopefully finds their own niche that they enjoy, and they are able to have fun.
