    I was just trying to even the playing field since folks were ragging on him
    Here we go again.........

    To the OP and anyone else that feels the desire to reminisce about shooting compounds Hold off on posting it in the Trad forum.

    The above debates always happen........

        Let me take this in another direction, a couple weeks ago I noticed my Hill Style Zebra Grevy hanging on the rack looking all dejected. So I pulled it down and strung it up. Man, I forgot how much fun those Hill style bows are to shoot! Kind of brought that old feeling of " This is why I shoot Trad Archery" back again! I've been enjoying myself so much, I think I'll shoot it at Fredricksburg this week end!

        Carry on,

          I've seen many a unethical shot taken with a compound. Just watch outdoor channel.

            Welcome my friend... I see you're new here, well it took me a little time to figure things out too. Stick it out, it will be worth your time.

                That is really what the replies were about... nobody on here cares what you shoot OP. But bringing up compounds in the trad forum brings a thread to the top of the front page and folks will jump in and start talking about stuff they know absolutely nothing about.

                Yeah, you see posts about Trucks and guns on the other TBH sub-forums. This is the trad sub-forum. We talk about trad here. When I want to talk about guns, I go over to the gun-subforum... when I want to talk about trucks, I go over to the Around the Campfire forum... etc.

                    It's a shame a true discussion can't be had on the subject of the differences, challenges of and similarities between the two disciplines. Always someone messing it up with putting the other one down.

                      I'll put my 98#er with 600 grain arrows up again just about anything where penatration is concerned.

                        I know my trad arrows shooting a 50# bow don't have the penetration potential as my compound arrow from the 60# bow. But part of the trad challenge is being close. Staying in the limits of my equipment and my ability. In both disciplines my equipment out weighs my abilities.

                          The thing is... in order to have a discussion about differences... you have to have folks that have experience with both. You can't have folks that know squat about the other methods, talking crap about those methods.

                          Folks who call equipment less ethical, yet they have folks using the same equipment they are, making questionable decisions too. Makes me cringe.

                            Good example of over-penetration.

                              I shoot a compound, but I do air out the Red Wing Hunter from time to time. To tell the truth, I admire the discipline it takes to become a good trad bow shooter. Carry on guys !

                                Nope, the right answer was 30-30. Nice try though
