What if all these incompetant bowhunters switched to crossbows and it allowed them to shoot much more accurately at 20-25 yards. Would that be a good thing ? Or are we, as bowhutners, comfortable with many in our ranks being terrible shots ?
Problem is datamax that the "worst" offenders of this were not the shooting, but the equipment, untuned, worn out, expecting new strings to be built, arrows to be made right now. Same would happen if crossbows were included, by the way, I have also seen traditional bows come in a week before the season asking for new strings, lessons on how to string it, miss-matched arrows.
Its not the equipment, its the attitude that you would laugh at. Many of them couldn't hit the target cause the arrows/bow were not tuned, you could see it in the arrow flight.
