In reality.....
I respect everyone's opinion.........apparently you have elevated yourself in one whole year to being above the "masses" and only associate yourself with the best of the best now.
We ALL do this EACH AND EVERY TIME we seek advice from someone. When I need to know how a concrete mix design performs in marginal placement temps.....I go to the guys in my indstry that have experience with the subject matter at hand. I don't poll the other managers I work with andtake a "just use 4,000 and let 'er rip".
If everyone were honest with themselves.....they'd see that this is what EVERYONE seeking advice or technical insight does.
Do I respect everyone's OPINION? YES! Why wouldn't I? I din't buy the rest I bought, based on what everyone else said about it. I went to somone I trust (my shop owner) andtold him what i needed in a rest. Mine's not the most popular by a long shot with the masses. Does that make the most popular rest abad one? Nope. Does that make the opinions of those who use it worthless? Not by far.
Davidmil has killed 84 deer with his bow.Am I interested in what HE utilizes....and why? Yep. Same could be said for Rob/PA...germ.....ATLAS.......thekidd.....Buckeye....H CH....Moho....Greg/MO..... EVERYONE(and the list goes ON and ON).Rybo just told me he's taken (I think +/-30 whitetails) and has never wounded an animal he didn't recover nor has heMISSED! You think I don't want to know what makes HIM successful? I DO! Does the type of rest he utilizes make him that successful? I'd say not (there's so much more).....but it's a fact I'm curious of.
WHY is this hard to understand? I NEVER claimed to be among the elite in bowhunting. Never. I'd be a FOOL to not seek out their expertise, though. Wouldn't I?
"I" am of the class of hunters that will be learning from others, FOREVER, likely. I'm not pitting anyone against another. I'm asking EVERYONE.
Neither..........I have no desire to participate in this vile judgement of other members.
Fine! Then don't go away, mad. Just go away!
