I have found out there is a much bigger gap between bare bow hunting and compound than most think. For instance, I can hit 5" groups with cedar arrows, and longbow strickly instintive shooting/part gap at 20 yards. I can do it over and over again. But I have missed more deer at 18 yards with my longbow than ever with my compound. 1st step is confidence of hitting your mark consistently and knowing your limitations there. Second, is being able to harness that ability while hunting. Thats the tough part.

Do I think everybody should try it? Why no. Everybody has to go thier own way and kill whatever way makes them feel good.
