The biggest reason is because you are GUESSING yardage and they are JUDGING yardage.When most judge,they have 3 methods of doing it so it takes a little bit of time.When shooting a slide bar that has to be adjusted,there is no pulling up,gapping the shot and letting it fly.
TFOX... I respect your opinion....but there's an AWFUL lot of assumptions in that paragraph. No. 1....we ARE BOTH "guessing" yardage. Only way to "know" is to step it off or use a rangefinder. I'm just guessing, faster. He was guessing from a longer distance......but come on. What's he doing while I'm shooting? While the other guy's shooting? I pick a yardage and shoot....whic is far from "letting it fly".
The binos are to find a reference point on the target to aim for or off of.
Agree with you here. The only person I'd think was crazy, here....is the guy who didn't glass the target. This takes me a little time. I'll admit that. My eyes aren't what they used to be, either.....but good glass is a must in 3D.
I agree that some take entirely too long and when I see a guy glassing a target after the shot from the stake,it pisses me off,especially when they are in front of me,get the hell out of the way,you can't bring the arrow back now.
That's basicaly all I'm saying. We're doing the same thing. WHY does it take these guys so long to do it?
SLOWER does NOT always = better.
