RE: Is it necessary and what is/are the advantage(s)?
No matter what head you use? or how fast or slow your bow is, If it`s compound or a "stick and string" what ever! If your worried about an animal servival then don`t shoot! If your worried about a bad hit don`t shoot! Go back and practice![:@] untill your confident enuff to take the shot! When i pull the string on an animal within my confedent range i don`t` give a crap about his servival! I wan`t to kill him as quickly as possable and use ever advantage to do it with my equipment that i can! Weather it a big sharp broadhead or a fast bow! It would seem to me that if someone calls them self an "ethical hunter" that they would want this to be? a bad hit is the result in something going wrong. Taking a bad shot your falt or not! Wounding an animal is something no one`s want`s to do! thats why the technology today is desighed to give the hunter the ability to shot straighter, See the the sights better in low light condition`s hunters today are taking more game than ever before with the confidence that they can take and make the shot! resulting in an ethical kill! quick and clean!
