I agree with the premise of your statement. In many cases, personal experiences vary and people should be content with what they choose to hunt with. But I don't think it's wise to over-look other's experiences either. I will openly admit, I've never killed an animal with a Powerbelt. But my buddy who I hunt with all year/every year does. I've seen them fail way too often. In that sense, I don't need to shoot them to 'test' them.

i.e. I don't have to touch a stove to know it's hot. I've seen others do it and seen them get burned (pun intended)

That's why these forums are great. You can learn from others.
