bows take away what bowhuntings all about; the challenge!
Put down your compound and try a real bow and you'll know what challenge really is. Truth is ........ you shoot a compound because its EASIER and you're more ACCURATE with it - true or false ?
I predict in the coming years ALL states will aloow crossbows as compound become more and more high tech. P&Y will eventually cave in and allow a crossbow category.
When this happens - and deer hunting is as good as its ever been with more big bucks killed than every before .......... what will ya'll say ?
BTW -
Theres a new bow that doesn't meet what a bow is defined as, does it ?
To answer your first question, yes compounds do make it alot easier to shoot a quality group. But that comes with practice. Let me give you a situation. Me and you go to a shooting range. Theres a .270, my PSE, and your cross bow. We both shoot the .270 3 times at 100 yards and find we both have good 3 inch groups on the target. Now we shoot my bow. I anchor back and aim with my 30 yard pin and shoot 3 arrows within 4 inches of the spot. You shoot my bow under the same circumstances and shoot 3 arrows 3 feet from the target. Not because your a bad archer but because you dont anchor the same as me. Now you shoot your cross bow at 30 yards and put 3 arrows within 3 inches of the circle. I do the same and have similar results. Do you see what Im saying about the challenge thing?
