The man makes the bow, the bow don' t make the man. I' ve only been shooting bows for about a year now but they' re no different than the rifles I' ve been shooting my whole life. The shooter, not the weapon, hits the target. Sometimes the newer equipment is lighter, has a higher let-off, and is a little quieter but all that means is comfort to the user. That doesn' t have a whole lot to do with the kill on an animal. Once you pass the minimums for a kill like draw weight, arrow grains, etc its all skill after that. Anyone who thinks hes a better shot or hunter simply cause hes got the lastest fad is full or himself. Only range and field time makes you good.
