I believe there was an actualstudy done which showed the wounded rate of whitetails concerning trad/compound equipment. Ask Arthur P., I heard about it from him.

Also, I think that traditional is better because hunting situations are just not the same as target or 3-d situtations. A traditional archer is able to get that quick (or relatively quick) shot off because of the physical demands of the equipment, it is something that it always practiced. The compound maybe better in situations where a longer aiming time is available. In the hunting woods, I think a lot of compounders feel rushed to get the shot off, where at the same time a trad hunter may feel it was more then enough time. Those "rushed" compound shots could actually lead to more wounded animals. I think that mistakes are compounded with a compound (punn intended). I actually feel I am at an advantage using trad equipment.
