If I shoot a $200 bow and kill with itevery time I release an arrow, what improvementswill an $800 bowmake for me?

On a recent trip to New Zealand, I was confronted by a fellow from Canada (he was very proud of his Mathews). He was there hunting fallow deer. He had been huntinghardfor five days straight-no luck (so he said). As I began assembling my bow (I shoot a PSE. I paid exactly $2 for it-won it in a raffle) from its case, this fellowINSTANTLY began talking down to me. I have learned over time to bite my lip!, For me, actions speak louder than words. Little did he know that this bow had, just days before, handled some of New Zealand's most coveted trophies and didsowith ease ( red deer, chamois, and tahr-all free ranging). Again, as I was being lectured, I simply held my tongue.I politely asked him what he found so challenging about the fallow deer he had be hunting. I'm always "all ears" for tips. Long shorty short, I could have killed five different gold medal fallow deer within the first hour of hunting. I was covering the same ground this guy had been on for five days prior.

It's not the bow...
