I will agree with Atlas on this one, better equipment helps your bad shots be "less bad". I have friends with 20 year old bows hunt way better most hunters. Personal choice, I like the high end stuff, I can afford it so I shoot it. It is about just being in the woods, not what your hunting with.

My opinion is that the better the equipment the better your "misses" will be. What I mean by that is if you give a terrible golfer Tiger's clubs he isn't gonna start shooting in the 70's..........but his horrible shots will now be bad.......his bad will be ok.........and his good will be real good. If you miss hit a 25 cent golf ball with a $5 club it will be an ugly sight. Miss hit a $5 golf ball with a $400 club and it still won't be pretty........just not as ugly.
Top shelf stuff won't make you better alone........but the forgiveness and confidence you get along with it will help.

Chuck was shooting a Reflex bow! Not top of the line Hoyt. His reasoning was that it had a good Axle to Axle length for a finger shooter, which he is one. So here's a world class bowhunter using a mid-range bow. BTW he says he shoots in the high mid 290's with that bow.

BUT, did you know that the Reflex Caribou (which is what he shoots) is the most expensive bow Reflex makes? It's also the most forgiving. Long ATA, recurve limbs and round wheels. Yes, it's fast, but he pulls somewhere in the area of 80# I believe. I agree, it's a perfect bow for a finger shooter, and he does shoot it well.

Was hoping the Reflex would be a little cheaper but the Caribou certainly isn't.
