It's not the 3D shooters I'm beating up on. I'd be beating up on myself as well iff'n I did that.[8D]

Bows that demand nothing less than a shooters very best form in order to shoot arrows to point of aim, so critical you can't even hit the dirt with a quiver full of arrows if you mess up a little... those are what I'm trying to beat down as hunting bows.

Choosing hunting bows that'll allow you to get away with a few accidental form breaks and make a clean killing shot under the worst conditions, when Murphy has hold of your shirttail, those are what I'm talking up.

I like those toughman shoots too, TFOX. And survival shoots. And I can take my recurve or longbow and kick some serious tail at night too.

A few years back, when I was still 3D'ing a good bit, I shot a small local event. Just compound and traditional classes, no other class breaks. I won compound class with my old SuperSlam, shooting against guys with brand new Mathews, set up for open class. My SS was set up for fingers/barebow. The way I won was I shot a 10 ring for 50 bonus points at the end of the shoot. None of the other compound guys even took a shot at it because it was a l-o-n-g way off. After the shoot, a fella got out his range finder and lazered it at 127 yards.

I used to do a lot of form practice at very long distance because the longer the shot, the more any form errors show up. Of course, I didn't tell THEM that.
