2 seasons - ALL archery equipment in bow - ALL guns in guns.
Just that simple.
Ive never been to any world class event but I cannot believe a 3" group is anything special with a Xbow at 40, I don't consider a 3" group with a normal bow special at 40. I wasn't trying to brag just pointing out how little practice it takes to shoot a $900 Xbow with optics semi-accurately. I got 3 shots total under my belt now with an Xbow and feel I could prob borrow his tomorrow and be perfectly fine to hunt with it.
Not sure I've heard of anyone that after his 1st shooting 3 arrows ever with a bow being ready for the field but archery is archery right?
