Default RE: Traditional Bows Not Efficient Enough

ORIGINAL: Rogue

BobCo is correct there was a study done in 1987 my Missouri researchers that found that traditional archers wounded less deer than compound shooters. A quote frome one of the resarchers.

"Primitive archers,however, are probably unique [in that] they likely know the limitations of their weapons better, take closer shots,and [may be] more conscientious about shot selection.

I found this information in Timeless Bowhunting by Roy S. Marlow

I still belive they would be more open if the subject was brought up by a friend.

I can remember when the compound movement started and people did not like the idea of compounds being used for hunting.
