Default RE: Who Practices Year-Round? Is it REALLY Necessary?

Now I want ya'll to really see what you and others are saying here. Is it a bad thing to want to be more efficient ? Is it bad to want to own a bow thats easy enough to master that allows you to pursue other hobbies ? Is accuracy paramount in bowhunting ? Do you have to "love" archery to bowhunter ?
NO
NO, but to be honest it can take a good deal of time to get to that level where the shooter/bow combination efficiency gets to a high level.
I feel there are 3 things of equal inportance in bowhunting. 1 getting a deer in range, 2 making the shot, 3 finding the deer once the shot is made. If you hunt a thick enough area as some do, even a 35 yd run before dying can put the deer out of sight.
NO, you only have to be enough of an archer to cleanly and consistantly shoot within your limits.

Apples to oranges, crossbows aren't drawn with the deer standing under you. Put them in a ML or shotgun season, not archery.
