Come on, you can't be serious when you blast modern equipment as being unethical or too destructive!!!
Sure I can! However, you have to pay particular attention to what I say/said. I never said; all modern equipment, and I sometimes clarify further by stating; in the hands of skilled vs. unskilled

When you say, "We have the most accurate means of delivering a few small slivers of razorblade to a vital organ today," you have to explain what you mean by "accurate," and you have to explain when "today" started.

I know what an accurate shooter is, and I know what acuracy can be obtained using good form and with a correct and well-tuned setup, I don't know what an accurate bow or arrow or rest or string, or etc, is.

Well that says it all "I Don't know what an accurate bow or rest or string or ect, is"
You made the post "Is it necessary and what is/are the advantages". I gave my thoughts and I will agree that most modern equipment IS NOT NECESSARY for a quick and humane kill.
Equipment is still being improved, like it or not, and people are buying it and using most with excelent results. Modern equipment still requires skill to use effectively.

Pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, lean back in your most comfortable chair, clear your mind of all other thoughts and carefully ponder the in-depth message of my statement.

The only things necessary are those items that each bowhunter or archer personally feels makes them the best shot they can be. Everyone is different.
