If you have not killed with sticks and stones you may not truly realize how hard bowhunting really is.
That was a great post minus that one line quoted above. If a guy can hit his mark, 10 out of 10 at 20 yards regardless of weapon, it's not harder one way or another, it's about getting the animal at that 20 yards, not hitting him.
But the amount of time/effort and skill to be able to hitthat mark 10 of 10 with stick & string compared to modern compound is WORLDS apart. Even to those very familiar with bows all thier lives.
But that's bow shooting, NOT bowhunting.
