TFOX, two of you now have said the comparison doesn' t hold water, isn' t worth discussing (or is ridiculous) and neither of you have bothered to offer any backup to your comments. I guess it isn' t worth discussing because you can' t refute it and have to resort to derision instead?

Just because YOU can' t hold back an 80% letoff bow any longer than a 65% doesn' t mean 999,000 others can' t. Here' s a little tip I picked up at another site on how to hold for a long time. Draw, rest the bottom wheel on your knee or a handy limb to take the weight of the bow off your bow arm, then when the shot is there, simply raise the bow, aim, shoot.

Raise the bow, aim, shoot. Isn' t that exactly what you do with a crossbow? With a BOW don' t you raise the bow, DRAW, aim and shoot? Comparison made, comparison proved. Refute it, if you can.

Beatty, in a magazine article, says that he drew and held his draw for AT LEAST two minutes waiting for that monster deer to move into range. He did not draw in the immediate presence of the animal. He used his bow just like it was a crossbow. P&Y doesn' t claim that is not bowhunting. They say it' s not FAIR CHASE bowhunting.
