Compound manufacturer - dang nice ones, they made an Allegiance or an Alliance or something - wasn'tthat whatyou were talking about ?

Chad - here is my argument. Compounds are much more accurate, they are much shorter ATA, they are much more powerful, they are much faster, their accuracy canreach out to 60-70 yards, very accurately. They are very easy to use, their consistancy is fantastic. Anymore, they're just as quiet.

All the above are pluses when hunting. Being able to shoot yourbow doing the splits, or tossing your unstrung bow downrange at a deer isn't really practical in a hunting situation

A trad bow can pull off a quicker shot. A second shot can be done quicker too.They're lighter mass weight. They don't have as many things on them that can break.


Did I miss much ?


The vast majority of bowhunters use compounds for a reason, and its not because they are superior weapons. Thats not to say that a bowhunter cannot be every bit as succcessful - but the weapoin itsself is a DISADVANTAGE - thats why its mroe difficult, a greater challenge, and the lesser path traveled.

Thats not knocking compound, crossbows, recurves or longbows, I think its simply the way it is and its almost a universal true.
