I started shooting the bow in 1974 , shot competitively for many years . I hunt with bow, shotgun, ML and rifle. The more you use , the more time in the woods you get. Yes killing something with the bow is much more of a rush because it all happens so close and you are in their zone.I got away from shooting competitively because a lot of the guys turned into friggin bow snobs. I could kill a 200 inch deer and if it wasn't taken with a bow it might as well have been a spike. Meanwhile 98 percent of them have never been more than a couple of hundred yards from the truck and they think they are the holy grail of hunters.
