Even with a modern compound it has taken YEARS for me to develope to a proficiency where I only need a few weeks practice before the season. With a Xbow it would have taken me 3 hours to reach that same level, maybe less.

An old wives tale???? please!!! its the mechanics of the weapons were are talking about.

Why are you trying to bring Xbows into this anyways? ahhh because you have to find a fault with someone who doesn't fit your ideals and ways of thinking.

If I was trying to capitalize on easy and early seasons I'd hunt in our early ML season. I promise you I will NEVER partake in that because I prefer to use my bow. I'm not some greedy deer hog you are trying to make me out to be. If I was I'd be flinging arrows at deer 30-40 yds away. My personal limit is 25 under ideal conditions. 90% of the deer I shoot are under 15. That is what its about, getting em REAL close so you can't screw things up.

This thread was brought out to see if there were any people who didn't find it necessary to shoot a zillion arrows a year to be proficient enough to hunt. When a couple of guys expressed thier situations, you high and mighty arrogant stuck ups decided to try and berate us and portray us as lazy slobs who don't care.
