most of you guys are to young to remember. but the compounds were built for the guys that could not hit jack with a straight or recurve bow. i have got many deer with a recurve and no sights. so i still think the the compounds should have their own season and it should not be in the regular season. to me there is no differance between the compound with it's let-off, using sights and guys using releases than the crossbow and it's trigger. so if you are going to use a compund you may as well be using a crossbow.
