Arthur,
Like I said, those points were not express at you! You have always seemed to put your comments where they are needed/asked for! The problem I have is with guys, both trad shooters and compound shooters, who will down talk other archers equipment because they use it!
As far as the 2 way street goes, you could say
Isn't that another way of telling trads to 'sit down and shut up'?
But the also could be said about compound hunters who want to express their opinions!
As far as let-off goes, I have heard that also, and I don't like hearing those stories, and heck, I shoot 80% let-off. If someone is standing with their bow drawn for 5 minutes waiting for a deer to present a shot, then they are getting fatigue on their arms and that will affect their accuracy! That isn't the bows fault though, that is the shooters fault! I shoot 80% let-off, but I wait for the deer to be in the position I want before I draw back, if the deer moves when I draw back and I am at full draw for longer than 30 seconds, I will let down, even if I know the deer is gonna spook!
Like I said, the bickering needs to end, we are all about shooting bows! Different strokes for different folks. The compound shooters not giving respect to trad shooters needs to stop, and trad shooters saying that compound shooters are "taking the easy route", that needs to stop. It would be nice to see a place where these groups could get together and hunt together without bashing each others equipment! For the most part, trad shooters don't bash compound shooters, but the same thing can be said in reverse. There are bad apples in all groups, and these are the ones that always seem to get the spotlight. Judging one group by a few bad apples isn't going to give someone the best/actual view of the sport!
