Default RE: What makes you as good as you are???

Where would a message board be without a constant influx of offbeat ideas, concepts and opinions ? (whether I believe them or not is irrelevant )

I tell ya, sticking with my longbow is a hard decision ... even today. Why ? Because its so hard for me. Putting that first arrow into what i want to hit every time .... very difficult to do. Not so with a compound - and knowing that always weights on my mind. Heck man, I like shooting deer, I like to kill big bucks ..... I do not like to miss and come home with unfilled tags. I have a better chance with a compound .... we all know this to be true because uh, thats why most all bowhunters use them, right ? So choosing to use a weapons that affords me LESS chance of success is tough !

But that makes the hunt, it really does. I pitty the fool deer thats 15 steps and broadside ... but those at 20-25 yards, a bit quartering, alert, walking etc etc ... those are the ones that with a compound BAM! dead deer, but with a longbow ... marginal at best shots and ones I have learned to not take.
