55# Bighorn Recurve, 5575 Gold Tip arrows, 125 gr. Snuffer broadheads
How do you like the carbon arrows? I have always shot cedar, but I have been thinking about buying some carbons for the black widow.
I use a compound for hunting because it is more efficient at quickly and accurately killing the game.
compounds are faster by nature...but as far as accuracy? that depends on who is behind the bow..a well practiced trad shooter can aquire a target and put an arrow in it before the average compound shooter can get thier peep sight lined up with the pin and target. once you get proficiant with a trad bow there is no thought behind it..its all reflexes/instincts. and a well practiced trad shooter can hit any target a well practiced compound shooter can hit. I've shot several deer and turkey with a recurve and long bow and would of had the same results whether I had a recurve or compound in my hand..which would be a dead animal...provided I practiced with the compound as well.
I have a couple recurves that I shoot for fun but I use a compound for hunting because it is more efficient at quickly and accurately killing the game.
