Pappy:
I have done it and it ant as easy as some make it sound, that is for sure, BUT it does take less time and practice to master [if you ever mater it] than shooting a self bow instinctively, especially at longer distance. ;) I have nothing against compounds , to each there own, now cross bows in my bow season, WELL just don't get me started or in line muzzle loaders in the our primitive season , no problem using them just keep um in riffle season where the be lone. >:( Get out the pop corn. ;) ;D ;D ;D

I have never shot a modern compound bow so I don't know what is involved in becoming an accurate shot with one. I was witness to something last year that was an eye opener for me. My father-in-law decided that he would bow hunt some after about a five year break from it. We were going to shoot a little bit before the season started. He opened this huge hard case and withdrew his compound bow. He walked out and shot five arrows into a two inch group at about thirty-five yards without a warm up. His next group was a little tighter. I was impressed. It takes daily practice for me to do that at 15 yards..... I don't know what he went through to attain that kind of ability, but it sure wasn't hard for him to get ready for the next season. ;) The only thing he was concerned about was being strong enough to pull it back the first half of the draw after such a long lay off. I was only jealous a little while. His rig cost well over a thousand dollars and I entered the woods with a grand total of maybe 75 cents worth of B-50 as a total investment. I killed a deer that day and somehow he did not. ;D The cheap skate in me loves stuff like that. There are so few archery hunters of any description entering our ranks that I am glad to see anyone getting into hunting. Whatever a person chooses to use that is a legal weapon suits me just fine. I know what rings my tuning fork, but to each his own. I just pray that our hunting traditions don't suffer the same fate as they have in some other places in the world.
