RE: Tred Barta... NOT the hard way
EXACTLY, Talondale!
I'm betting MANY people would tell my buddy he's crazy for doing what he did. I'm betting many of these same people might be the same ones that choose to spend the time needed to become proficient w/ a stickbow....when the compound would take less time and effort. If I'm hearing correctly.....part of the mystique and allure (and overall satisfaction)of the stickbow is for EXACTLY that reason!
All of this we do is VERY personal. There are VERY few "absolutes" in hunting.
