<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>. Using high tech equipment, bone busting head, high KE bows make people think they can take a marginal shot. No or yes ?

Inexperienced hunter yes,experienced hunter no.Don't the broadheads you use on your trad equipment have bone busting capabilities?If not how do guys hunt African game with Trad. gear.Those Wensel broadheads look like they could bust some bone to me.What's your KE on your Trad set up? Mine is about 59.
Let's look at this another way.I feel people get into traditional after using compounds don't you? So most of your trad hunters are already experienced,right.Their learning curve is huge from the compound to trad equipment,safe bet.So how do we get young kids interested in hunting with a bow using trad equipment.My son has been shooting since he was 5 yrs old.One of the big factors in his enjoyment was that he saw improvement quickly.Once again I don't see anything wrong with that.When I saw the excitement in his eyes i knew he'd be hooked.
Or is it supposed to be like in the movie "Kung Fu" where Cain pulled the bow back for 5 years before putting an arrow on the string.
Don't you think that the compound is a great intruductory weapon?Trad. equipment is harder to shoot,I'm in total agreement there.If all these newcomers to our sport shot trad. they would either quit or the wounding rate would be huge.Because the compound is easier to shoot doesn't mean the person using it is lazy.
Without the intruduction of the compound where would bow hunting be now.The people and the revenue that it has brought into the sport I feel has done more good then harm.
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>When you shoot a deer with a compound, i bet you try to draw when the deers looking away, or head behind a tree, and hold your draw until it step into a good shot, right ? <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
I draw as you mentioned and then release.I draw my bow when the shot is available.I draw,aim and shoot don't really hold at full draw.
So basically the difference between my shooting style and yours is I hold less weight at full draw.
I didn't read the thread you mentioned.I can tell last year I took two deer and all three arrows I shot hit there intended mark.I hit the last one twice.Once at 10 and once at 22 paces.
