You guys that claim practice is unnecessary... I don't want to see ANYTHING from any of you come August and September. I don't want to see one freakin' question about form, tuning, arrow spine, sights. I don't want to see one complaint about how your string broke in your case and you didn't know about it and now the pro shop is too busy to put a new one on for you so you can go hunting tomorrow.
Not a word from any of you! NOTHING! You've sown the seeds, now you can choke on your harvest.
I advocate practice. I absolutely despise the very notion that practice is not a requirement for shooting a compound. So, unlike you clowns that argue the reverse, at least MY conscience is clear.
Just remember your point of view next fall. That's when those people that have taken your advice, that they don't need to practice, are coming on here posting. Remember what you told them when they're moaning about shooting just good enough to wound the animals they draw down on. You'd better not pull your ethics bullsh*t on them, because YOU are the ones that put the idea out there.
This whole damn thread is flat sickening. I think the whole lot of you need to take a refresher course in bowhunter ed.[>:]
You advocate practice all year and then smash people by saying you don't want them asking questions?? Don't you want them practicing correctly??..........or would you rather they be using bad form, wrong set ups, untuned equipment and poor techniques.......as long as they are practicing??
People have to ask questions to learn the right way to do things. If you don't want to answer them then fine......you don't have to. It's an open forum and there are MANY people who want to help others learn so they can become better archers and hunters.
Discouraging people from asking for help is doing as much or more damage to this sport then people not practicing enough.
