The hunt Is what makes the hunt, no matter what weapon In hand. The weapon used though can and will at times have a huge effect on getting that animal even at 10 yards. Here's a few things I can't do with my recurve that I could do with my compound- Holding my bow back for a good period of time, drawing my bow well before the animal gets to the spot, drawing my bow back at sharp angles with lots of clothes on, 20 yard shots are not always In the cards. The things I high lighted are huge. The one thing I feel I have an advantage with using my recurve Is quick thinking and quick shots. Traditional bows are nothing close to a guarantee when shooting them no matter how good you are. You can hit targets all you want, shooting at a live animal Is a completely different story with all the stuff going through your head knowing your not using pins but Instead your using your Instincts or however you do It. Getting one deer Isn't going to tell you how hunting with a Traditional bow Is. Hunting many years with them will tell you how frustrating It can be at times. Greg, when you pick up a recurve again I know success will follow being your an excellent deer hunter but I can guarantee It's not going to be quite as easy as little things will get In the way that you never realized before. You'll understand what I'm talking about If you try It again. I've never taking anything away from you with all the success you've had with shooting monster bucks with your compound and I never will, your an excellent hunter!

I agree Rybo.
