what the heck is a "Bowtech?"
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.
I agreed with a lot of what you said there. However, in the right hands, a traditional bow can be just as deadly as a compound bow. I'm not saying that I'm one of those people, but for someone like LBR, I would bet he could outshoot a good number of people using compounds, using one of his trad bows.
That being said, I agree that the compound is a superior weapon, thats the draw (no pun intended) to shooting a trad bow. It's harder, less forgiving. Plus for us simplistic folks, it bring us back to the old days. I've grown up hearing nothing but how much better compounds are better than other bows, and have watched the revolution go from aluminum arrows as the top dog to everyone preaching carbons. So to me shooting trad bows is about seeing things the way they were a long time ago, when my father and grandfather were bowhunting. Its a way for me to connect with a time long ago that I never was able to see, butam now able to at least taste.
