Datamax....
We can talk about which is more accurate, which is easier to use, which has letoff, which is used with a triggered release, which has sights, which can group at 50 yards, which brings in less dedicated hunters .......... you know, we'll talk about the same things compounders talk about concerning crossbows.
Cool ?
I'm not going to sit here and get into this little pissing match with you. Do you think I'm a fool and have never been around any bows(compound-single or dual cam, recurve, long bow, homemade stick bow or xbow) in my lifetime and have not shot any one of those weapons??? Come on now. You like debate...plain and simple. And it also doesn't take me long to realize that you honestly feel that you are more of a man/hunter(ala Arthur P) than most because you "choose" as you say, to shoot trad. Everything else is just too easy for you. You may not think it, but you certainly portray yourself as one.
I want you to answer one VERY SIMPLE question for me and you can leave out all of the fluff that you so delicately put in every single one of your posts...
Out of these three weapons....which one is the easiest to shoot...takes the least amount of time to get good with....allows someone very minimal amount of movement in stand to shoot at an animal...and can be put down with the same type of movement if an animal hangs up just out of range? A long bow/recurve....a compound or an xbow??
As you say...you've shot them all so this should be a very easy question to answer. All I want is a one word answer.
