My brother just bought a compound bow, and i believe that they are seriously underestimated. Not only do they kill effectively they are quiter than guns *derrr* and some areas are restricted to bows. There are videos out there where rhinos and bufallos are killed with a single arrow to the heart/lung area. The broadheads used are razor sharp and go through muscle like a hot knife through butter and the only thing that would stop it is heavy bone and sinew.Mopar_Muscle wrote:Yeah Glopaticki, 30-06 is effective in hunting deer. Where I'm from, the 30-06 is the preferred caliber of choice. That is not only preferred, but it is about the only thing that is used. Most people around here do as you said, and tend to aim at vital areas of the deer to kill it almost instantly.
Then again, around here, there is a lot of people who use the new composite bows to hunt with too.
As you said hunetrs tend to aim for the vitals, i believe that should be on the top of their lists when it comes to hunting game. The animal deserves a quick and painless death, thats the least we can give em.
it's funny how my hook always goes through the fishes eye..
