Default RE: Lets Stop "A Slow Hit Is Better Than A Fast Miss"

... but with today’s equipment, accuracy and speed area far from mutually exclusive.
For certain people.

The guy who thinks a tuning session is dropping his bow off at the pro shop and picking it up on the way home? Nope.

The guy who can't shoot good enough to keep all his arrows on a basketball at 20 yards with even a 250 fps bow? Nope. (Oh, they're out there. Believe me. I've seen 'em.)

The guy who puts his bow up at the end of the season and doesn't take it out again until opening day? Nope.

The guy who selects his arrows by grabbing a random handful from the bucket at Wal Mart? Nope.

The guy who shows up to a shooting proficiency test with a bow that's got cobwebs all over it and even a dirt dauber nest at the fork in the top limb; who walks off down the trail to the shooting area without even checking his sights on the practice range? Nope! And yes, that's a true story. I was director for the test. He was really pissed that he didn't pass the test to qualify for the hunt.

The guy who shoots at least once a week year round, maybe hits the 3D circuit, who is a competent bow mechanic and is constantly tinkering with his stuff? Yeah, maybe him. He might be the one who can take advantage of the speed. And he's what... Maybe one out of ten thousand bowhunters?
