Now go 1 step further and remove the word Bow....is an animal at 20 yards any less a trophy with Gun?? We can all hit the "spot" 10 out of 10 times ..that was a given. Does the projectile make the difference?
To me it would be. I think if I actually made the bow the arrows and the head the feeling of accomplishment on an animal would be intense.
I've made my own ice fishing poles and lures etc. and the fish I caught on them were special, so I can understand what I think the OP is saying.
