Whether you draw while the animal is out of range and coming in and hold till you get the shot, or whether you draw while the animal is walking behind a bush and hold till the shot, you are NOT drawing in the immediate presence of game.
I' m honestly trying to have a civil discusion here, but that statement is rediculous! So if I draw my bow when a deers head is behind a tree then I' m not drawing in the " immediate presence of game?" So, in order for it to be " immediate presence" I need to have a crystal clear shot?
If one of the main arguments against crossbows is that they don' t have to be drawn in the immediate presence of game, then you' re sunk with 80% letoff because they don' t have to be drawing in the immediate presence of game either.
Anybody draw while deer are out of range and wait for them to present themselves with a shot in range? I can tell you for sure that I can' t hold my bow for a great deal of time and still make a decent shot. How long does one need to hold the bow drawn for it be comparble? Virtually indefinite time with a crossbow and several seconds/ a minute or two at most with 70# @ 80% compound?
