Rack - that was actually a loosely exaggarated point. In fact, I place six 1" x 1" pieces of orange tape on the target so I do not have to shoot at the same bullseye and bust knocks. No, I can't hit the tape every shot after sitting for months, but I would say being within a 1/2" is good enough to kill a deer.

Arthur, I know what you mean about the elements and being in a live situation rather than on a range. This territory also comes with experience. My experience leads me to stay in the house when there's rain coming at me around 25mph.

I really enjoy bowhunting more than anything I do. Problem is, I have way too many hobbies so I don't shoot in the off season. I wish I had the time - I'd be out there come October with the recurve rather than the compound.
