I got more positions than a hooker on a runway with my bow
But yeah, overall you're right, shooting a recurve IS more difficult - that was your point, wasn't it ?
Grab string and pull back to full draw
My God man, you seriously shoot fingers ? 95% or more compounders clip a triggered release onto the string or loop and use their wrist/arm/shoulders to draw. Fingers are only used to trigger the release.
Look at the thread on shooting distance - you'll quicklu realize guys will shoot 40-50 yards and beyond with their compounds, no problems. And they shoot that distance incredibly accuraltey too ! Thanks to the modern compound bow
As for the "gizmos and gadgets" I use a release , rest , and sight. How many of those three do you use on your recurve?
How about the compound shooter who shoots with fingers and no sights? Are they real bowhunters?
My God man, you REALLY think I put sights and a rest on my recurve ? I actually tried shooting a recurve with a release last year - not a good experinece !
Finge shooting, no sights compound guys are rare to almost non-existant. They're taking a much more difficult course to killing deer than you are though. Like I've said before, only self bowyers know what TRUE archery is. I'm not there yet, you're not even close
Please list just ONE thing that has made todays compound bows more accurate than compound bows form 10 years ago. How about 20 years ago?
Higher tech machined risers. Solo cam technology. Split limbs. Fiber optic sights that are BTW AMAZING ! Drop away rests. Cam and ahlf technology. SIMS from hell. The triggered releases nowdays are fantastic too. Carbon in the risers/limbs. High Country's carbon bows are way cool. Horizonal limb technology that is basically a vertical crossbows with the wheels/cams doing all the work with very little limb movement. Bows are short ATA nowdays. Much more center shot. High brace heights.
The design changes are endless., the technolgoy having come a LONG way.
They are such that dang near anyone can pick one up and be shooting 10 for 10 in the lungs of a McKensie at 20 yards in 30 mintues.
