Just for clarity.....
So were gonna praise Waddel for smokin a buck with his recurve ..........after missing a doe by shooting FOUR FEET over her back......
......and in the same thread put down Tred Barta for "flingin arrows"?[8D]

Dude, is someone brown nosin or what? What is your deal with this Tred guy? I dont really understand it. Yea, trad bows take more time to become proficient with? How does this relateto Tred in the least? What about guys like Fred Eichler who go out and do it the same waywithout all the self hype?Does that makeTreds style of hunting harder, guides and private land ranchesand the occassional public land hunt with a "friend" who just so happens to know everything about the place and calls the shots on the hunt...Ive honestly NEVER seen him hunt DIY public land, or private for that matter, by himself....How is "his way" so hard?
The reason people view Wadell differently, is because of his shot choice. He missed the doe, bad, but it was a legitimate shot.
He didnt state a 15-20 yard effective range then shoot at RUNNING animals at 40 yards+. This is what is considered "flinging arrows"
Me thinks someone is attempting to heighten the respect for Trad hunting before they get into it...[8D]
