and I agree with you about compounds. if you want to click a trigger and kill animals that you havent had to stalk, may as well use a centrefire. the only difference between the two is the rangefinder.
I hope that was in jest .
I find these types of comments tiresome and overtly negative .
I would hope that the posters of such comments will post up all the many record book trophies they have taken with compounds because its so easy and you don't have to stalk and other such silliness.
no I mean what I said, I don't like compounds but I don't like a lot of things so I wouldn't let it worry you!

Well said wishsong! Most people who sling off at compounds have no idea what they are talking about and would rather put their ego before a humane kill just so they can call themselves a trad archer. Of the deer I've shot the furtherest was taken at 34 metres, hardly comparable to shooting a centre fire rifle I would say.
Hmmmmmmm.............

I just have a lot more respect for the guy that can do it with his hands and by looking down the arrow with a traditional, rather than a cammed up bow with a release aid and 5 pin sight with level and fibreoptics, am/fm radio etc.

This is a traditional bowhunting forum
Len
That's great. Why don't you find a compound bowhunting forum to go talk about it on.
Again, I do not criticise your bow or hunting or other choices, except the one to talk about non-traditional archery here
