I have two stories for you SS

1. I was shooting my recurve with boo arrows, and my friend was shooting his new compound with sights-wheels-levels-lasers and a half dozen other toys I didn't recognize. We were both shooting spot on and so things got competitive and after a few equally matched competitions we decided to switch bows... I took his bow, ignored all the toys, drew it with my fingers (not his release) and started shooting ok groups...  He took my bow and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn
Lesson: Take away the toys and WE are better

2. One time I was bored so I took the 60lb compound that mom got at a garage sale and shot it at my target, I missed but the arrow went REALLY FAST and hit a rock and sent sparks flying
Lesson: fast things can be cool... I guess the first story had a better lesson ::)

yes i reallise that, the guy who was shooting his recurve next to me was using his sight but when i asked to use it i ignored it because he had it set for him and i wouldn't wan't to go changing his settings, so instead i pulled it back  so the nock was at my nose, i was shooting 3 under and i aimed the arrow just above the target and sure enough got a group in the red.  he said "i guese some of us just have it and some of us don't" i can also shoot left handed but only with really light weight bows 20-30#. im acctually not to keen on the compound and i would probably only use it for it's pure power and speed.

If you have to pull a trigger, is it really archery?

Lol, there is an old saying. Its not the qauntity or quality of tools that make the man, its what you can do with what you have.
Case in point I have read many posts about primitive hunters and shooters that really impress me, this is what's it about.. ;)
