Since I still shoot both, I hold no bias towards compounds as many here obviously do. I had a real good post brewing in my head until vabowbender came in with the organizations reasons for no trad gear. I am very familiar with a similar organization that runs a highly scrutinized program here in Pittsburgh. I’ve thought about joining many times over, but they have to jump thru so many hoops, I’m just not sure how fun it would be. Public perception is HUGE. They’d get slaughtered if they tried to let trad guys have at it.

I wish I could bring myself to your mentality regarding trad gear. Maybe I just need more time and ability to achieve that comfort level, but right now, there ain’t an OUNCE of my being that feels better equipped with my longbow than I do with my Bowtech. It just ain’t happening. Yea I am confident enough to hunt with it, & I’ll take a shot out to 18 yds or so without hesitation, but if I was dumped into an unknown hunting scenario and had to make that shot count for a million $, I’m going to have the compound.
I will agree about one thing, that I do feel many compound shooters take forever to shoot and force themselves into a rushed situation. I think it is foolish to be that way. Practicing a quick draw, anchor, aim, release should be essential in ones preparation for the season. Yet I think so few do it.
