Okay Jeff, maybe you'll understand it this way. If a guy carries a ML with a scope into the woods (limited range) and his buddy carries a rifle with a scope into the woods (longer ranges) and they both shoot their deer at 100 yards. Was one HUNT harder than the other?
No. But your analogy is somewhat a slap in the face to trad shooters (comparing being proficient with a scoped ML v. proficient with a trad bow.....andall that entails).
I'd ask you to try again.
It slaps no one, it's only limited by the range but bow being equal, why is it a harder hunt with one weapon over another. For you example above, let's use a rifle and a compound.
Two elk hunters go hunting, walk for hours on end, calling, hiking and working their hardest to kill an elk. One carries a compound bow, one carries a rifle. Both kill their bulls at 20 yards. Which one was the harder hunt?
