That's what I was thinking

Anyways I have lots of thoughts on this. I like hunting my way. I don't just want to get a deer, I want to get a deer playing by my limitations(whatever they may be). Probably the reason I never made an attempt to worry about killing a deer past 20-25 yds.

Yea I too have gone down the trad road too, but mine was more of a "I want to kill one that way" kind of thing, as opposed to trying to make it harder. Yes it is harder and despite being proficient there are FEW people on this planet who can release and arrow from trad gear, with the same certainty as most can with a compound.
