Datamax, In all my communication on this site I take extra effort to be polite and considerate.This is for a number of reasons but one of the biggest is that I want to be part of the solution not part of the problem,I want to work toward things that bring us together in the hunting community not spread us apart! I love to hunt,I live for it,And I fear that because of the devisiveness within our ranks we are slowly going to lose our hunting priveleges.
I do not agree with you as to how easy you believe it is to be capable of hunting with a compound.You have a right to your opinion but you are wrong,you may be sincerely wrong,but wrong none the less.Being target proficient at 20 yards and hunting proficient at 20 yards are worlds apart from a competence perspective.To suggest otherwise is irresponsible!!
Rather than us sniping back in forth which is an aggravation and a waste of time,if you feel that you want to persist with your ill advised opinion.I suggest a wager.You come up with the 10 most well known compound shooters,guys that we have all heard of,Chuck Adams,Randy Ulmer,Terry Ragsdale.Bobby Ketcher,Rod White as examples.I will contact every one of them to see what period of time they feel is necessary to be hunting competent with a compound.For every one of them that feels that You can be hunting ready within a day of being set up with their new equipment I will buy you a dozen arrows,and for every one who feels that it will take longer than a day you will buy me a dozen arrows.I will post their exact responses by attachment.
Either take me up on this or stop with the misinformation!
