You need something thats easier to master. You make me laugh harder.
And here's the freakin punch line. You, yes, you, equate that picture to this. Your a walking punchline.

Many recurve hunters argue that compound hunters are taking the easy route. They have fiber optic sights, trigger release, stabilizers, string suppressors, 80% let off, cams etc.. Just like shooting fish in a barrel, right? I mean, mastering a compound is much easier than a recurve.
Plus, compounds have extended ranges over recurves. It's just not true hunting if you ask many recurve guys. Compounds are too easy to master.
Many recurve purists also say you are cheating and shouldn't be allowed in archery. At the very least, you should have a limited season. How is this any different than what you are arguing?
Then there's the you don't have to draw in front of the game argument. What about all those compound guys that hunt from double bull blinds? The deer don't see them draw back.
If you shoot a recurve only then good for you. I just don't see why you aren't all over compound hunters for ease of use. I'm sure you're a great guy, but you seem really closed-minded about xbows.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; shoot what you like, but don't begrudge others for doing the same. Happy hunting!
