Phil, next time you go bird hunting take a long bow and see how successful you are. Michigan Bowhunters puts on a pheasant shoot every year where we all go with bows. Although any bow is allowed, everyone has a recurve or longbow - compounds just aren't suited to quick shoots. After lunch we get out the shotguns to get everything we missed. Out of about 50 guys only anywhere from 4 to 10 birds were taken with the bows. I'll guarantee a bow isn't a gun with a string on it. I do have friends who have taken turkey with a bow. All of them were sitting in a blind. Those turkey eyes are a little too good to be sitting in the open and trying to draw a bow.
