No, I don't want to argue about this crap AGAIN. The fact is that high letoff bows are more demanding of good form and that makes them more critical to use in hunting situations than lower letoff. Sorry if you guys don't like dealing with facts, but you simply cannot escape it.

Archer18, the quote you came up with is taken w-a-a-a-y out of context. Just to clear the air and set matters straight... The proper context of that statement is comparing traditional bows to compounds. Even further, it's comparing shooting a compound fingers and barebow to shooting traditional bows. It is not applicable to differentiating between 65% and 80% letoff.

And NO, I have not hunted elk. But I have hunted these skittish Texas whitetails from the ground for many years. With recurves and longbows and selfbows and compounds... And YES, it darn sure IS a challenge to draw and shoot without getting busted.

Drawing and getting a shot off when the shot is presented without getting busted is the second greatest challenge in bowhunting. It is integral to bowhunting. You use equipment to eliminate that challenge, then you are doing something other than bowhunting. IMO, you might as well be using a crossbow and I do lump high letoff compounds right in there with crossbows.

Now, there's you something to argue about. Like I said though, I don't intend to get into again. I won't change my opinion and I doubt I ever have changed anyone else's opinion in the several hundred times I've wallowed around in the muck with this issue.
