Not meant to knock you at all Jeff, but you did sort of answer your own question in the original post. My question is, does it necessarily have to be 'hard' to be enjoyable? I shot three does with the compund this year and loved every minute of it, it wasnt really too difficuly by any means, but it sure was enjoyable. But to each their own and if you want to get down to a loin cloth and a spear have at it my friend.
