I've hunted with recurves and longbows since 1974, and I know there's a lot of opinions and likes and dis-likes among archers.
But, my question is this: Is there folks that tend to be an ok shot at targets but when it comes to taking a live animal they are deadly?
I know accuracy is accuracy and that some archers utilize a target style of shooting for hunting.....I believe whatever works for you go for it.
Bobby Lofton, who was a nice gentleman bowyer from Mississippi, told me once that there are folks that will tear you up on the target range but may not be that great at taking a live animal. Though, there are those that can do both. Mr. Bobby is no longer with us but he was a knowledgeable bowyer and hunter. I dont do so great at targets [I do ok], but when it comes to stump shooting I tend to do a lot better. Just curious as to what some of your opinions are on this....I know they will vary.
