Just that trad bows can, with practice, be used in many more positions. That's a biggie when hunting.
I dunno, that 64" of longbow got in the way for me SEVERAL times this year. Maybe sitting down didn't help. A compound I can do a lot of things with too - at full draw
If your theory is true ....... why not open up 3D shoots to a whatever you want to shoot shoot ?
answer - because compounds score a lot higher. Why do they ? Better shooting bows - period.
Sorry, I just disagree with the belief trad bows are better weapons. They aren't - every fact I can find proves it.
They ARE more challenging, more fun, people can use them very well ....... but in the ends, just as rifles are better weapons than ANY bow, so too are compounds better than trad bows.
I agree with everything you're saying, except for one part. Everyone shoots better with different things. In general, yes, compound is a more effective weapon, just as a rifle is better than any bow.
I personally shoot better (more proficient respectively)with my compound bow right now over my rifle. Meaning: I won't hit a bullseye at 100 yds with my bow, but at 35 yds and closer I'll do it about everytime with my bow. I'm not that proficient yet with my rifle at the ranges that I would shoot at with it. I
am pretty good with my rifle, but compared to how I shoot my bow, it's not even close yet.
So I agree with you, in general purposes, but for specific people its all relative to one's capabilites, limited by what they practice more (in my case, the bow) and what they prefer.
