A lot of compound hunters would drop their bows and go rifle if there was one big season - so that is a moot point Arthur P

You shoot a variety of bows like I have - good ! You then know exactly how much more accurate a modern compound is. Go to any 3D shoot that allows crossbows and you'll see a consitancy. Compounder have the best scores, folllowed by crossbows, then the recurve/longbows with sights etc than the more primitive categories etc etc.

I long ago realized you cannot regulte a slob going out, buying a weapon and going hunting. Can't do it be it a compound or a longbow or a rifle or a crossbow. in fact, if that is being taken into consideration, you'd WANT easier weapons that allow the shooter to become better faster, wouldn't you ?
