Paul,
Sorry; didn't mean to ruffle any feathers (so to speak). I wasn't referring to long bows or even recurves, and I don't doubt the skill required for success with one. In fact, I've shot a few myself and enjoyed it, and although I have never been a bow hunter I've seen a few here and there that I thought about owning. I guess to me those are sort of the sxs's of bows, while the new stuff made of space age materials with wheels, sights, release triggers, etc. (hence the guns with a string comment) are the Benelli autos. Nothing wrong with them if that's what you like; just not for me. No intent to offend. Hang a long bow on that rack and I'm all about it
