+1 Don stokes, for hunting I don't think you can beat a recurve or longbow.  As far a easy money, if you shoot that good you earned every penny   :bigsmyl: , I'm even headed into court for some overtime to cover it right now!

Well the fact is for hunting we don't have to be very accurate.The shots are close and hitting in the 8 ring verses the 12 has the same end result in the woods.I like stickbows for hunting because I feel for the things I do they happen to be a little better and are more fun.When it comes to popping dimes at longer ranges I know which bow to shoot and it will have a cam on one end.Good thing I don't have to hit dimes to kill the things I shoot.  :bigsmyl:

Count me in on that bet. Trad @ 20 and Wheels at 60 would be really interesting. The someone in the group I shoot 3d with almost every Sunday will win the Trad competition most of the time. It's a common sight to have 2 or 3 x-ring scores in the targets. The are some pretty good shots here in SW PA. In fact I saw a scorecard yesterday from a gal that shot a 288 (12 xs) challenging mountain course.
I've learned that walk in the woods with my father as a child did wonders for me as an adult.

Wow! My best ever with 12-rings was 275. Did it twice. And back then I could shoot dimes at 20 yards. Well, quarters anyhow.   :)

Yeah small targets are good - I see when you take away that point of aim (the golf tee is the spot) that some trad shooters start to loose accuracy basically shooting at the whole target.

Wheelies are good but only after they have held it for 5 minutes!
