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

Are compounds more accurate then traditional bows? Yes
Says who? The shooter determines accuracy!

Do you HAVE to be closer to game with a traditional bow? Yes
What does that have to do with anything? I've shot 95% of my deer with my compound under 20 yards! So your point is?

Do you (sorry, sorry) SHOULD you practice more with a traditional bow? Yes
I agree , thats where the challenge comes in! Trad bows take much more practice and dedication!

Does a compound put more energy into the arrow? Yes
Again , what does that have to do with my point? Does a slower heavier arrow shot from a trad bow not kill an animal just as dead as a faster arrow with more energy?

Are compound arrows easier to get perfect then traditional arrows? Yes
Again , it has nothing to do with my point! The majority of trad bowhunters that I know shoot aluminums anyway.

Is form more important on a traditional bow as compared to a compound? Yes
Not from my experiences! Slower arrows are much more forgiving to bad form. Consistancy is more important than form for either!

These things and many many more make traditional hunting harder then compound hunting.
Traditional hunting is not harder if you become proficient with your traditional gear!

If compounds are not easier to hunt with, then why were they invented?
Because it's human nature for MAN to try and make things bigger , faster , and stronger! UGHHUGHHUGHH!(in my best Tim the Tool Man Taylor impersonation)

Have you ever shot traditional?
