TEmbry I'm sorry I don't sugar coat things and try and save feelings. This is a message board, nothing more, nothing less, its not personal in any way.
This shows a gap in your compound knowledge...speed and accuracy aren't related in that way, at all. Not sure why you are so opiniated on this board, but it is starting to rub me the wrong way. Blasting those who take pictures unsuitable to you, claiming compounds take the dedication out of archery...just give it up, hunt for yourself, and your own reasons and let others do the same. Ive yet to see one positive post come from you.
LOL ... I've shot compound for .... geeeesh, 20+ years now and I killed an 8 point in Arkansas with my Dad's Q2 October 2nd. i've got plenty of experience and I know that in 2 decades, compounds have gotten way easy.
I can pick YOUR compound up and shoot very accurate with it within minutes. In fact, just about anyone who can draw the weight can - why?
They're designed that way. Sights, pins, trigger releases, ultra-high letoff ...... compounds are being built to give people the absolute most accurate shooting possible.
Am I right or wrong ?
StruttinGobbler3 Look at the initial post. Its hugely misleading - a traditional archer talking about traditional values ....... and honestly? There is bowhunting - what its always been, and then along came compounds and they "stole" what bowhunting was to the extreme that recurves and longbows now have to be called traditional.
Why ? Why isn't bowhunting STILL recurves and longbows and Compounds be labeled as something else ?
See what I mean ?
I'm becoming elitistwhen it comes to weapon choices no doubt. We all are elitist, be it the views we have on baiting, antler restrictions, QDM etc.
That said, bash away, I don't mind, its 3:00 am and I've got 3 hours until I get off work
So if your recurve shot 350fps you feel you would be more accurate? Im not disagreeing completely, when I shoot 3d, I like to be as fast as possible to correct slight yardage misjudgements.
buckmasteryou answered your own question didn't you ? If I were guessing, I'd say you're shooting a 65-70# compound, 350-400 grain arrows and expandables? Trigger release? Drop away rest? Why ? Why not shoot 750 grain arrows and big 3 blade cutting heads?
But what I meant was, compounds are made and designed to be as accurate as possible.
