I have read most of this thread (not all) but I am going to go ahead and reply this way and you all can take it as you will. I shoot the mojority of the summer and shoot thousands of shots, however I have a good friend that pulls his bow out and shoots maybe 3 times the week before season and that's it. Last year he killed 5 deer with his bow. 3 bucks ( 2 DANDIES) and 2 does. He POLAXED all 5 of them and killed a deer everytime he dropped the string. Now call that what you will but I would be willing to bet that not many people that posted on this thread were more successful and I know no one had a better kill shot average. it's pretty hard to call those averages unethical.
