Your darn straight you cant, now your letting your ingnorance show. Damn boy you must be the best archery hunter since Fred Bear.
Never said I was...........and if you can' t learn what different hits mean.......how to recognize them.....and what to do after that in less then 3 years then you have got bigger problems to solve. That stuff can be learned in half an hour of reading. Putting that knowledge into action is the tricky part. I agree that it would take a very long time to learn these things if you do it the hard way by having heartbreaking disasters as your teacher..........with all the resources available to us today there really is no reason to do that. One night of dedicated reading at this forum will give you a solid foundation to work from for god' s sake. No one knows everything.........but the basics should be in all our bag of tricks.
What in gods name does knowing all the technical terms for a bow, having to do with being a responsible, ethical hunter? Reciteing all that jargon doenst mean jack.
If you had bothered to read the thread you would have seen the mention of being " green" to archery and bowhunting.......and the insinuation that experience is the cure for this. All the above topics deal with performance of your bow in one way or another that could mildly or severely effect your success on game........so if experience is the key to everything then why would so many " experienced" bowhunters be so ignorant to important topics such as these?? They are also common topics of archery in general.
Man.......you don' t think KE has anything to do with being a responsible or ethical hunter?? Tell that to the guys out there getting 2-3" of penetration with mechanicals because of the lack of KE coming from their setup [
