so stealthy....let me understand you...you hunted for 20 yrs with a compound?? then saw the "light" and became a trad shooter/hunter, yet you still carry the compound to hunt at times?? Ok, I kind of get it....I mean I bow hunt and shotgun hunt, yet i would rather hunt with a bow most of the time, however here in this part of Va we have deer dogs and it's kind of a tradition to hunt with them from Nov to Jan....so bowhunting is out of the question in most areas b/c of the disturbance of the dogs...but given the choice, I go with a bow any day..deer dogging and bowhunting are at opposing ends ....they are soooo different...but compound bows and trad bows are different yet it's the same logic....get them reasonably close, draw and shoot right?? so why would you ever take the compound at all....I mean all know the difference with a shotgun and bow, but Im not following your logic between compounds and trad for hunting...
