jim Report post Posted December 7, 2017 Ok flatlander you are correct. I also know several folks that grabbed a recurve bow drove around and killed several deer over the years it works both ways. I talk to guys all the time that have not shot their bow besides 3 days to the hunt. I am a bow hunter first I shoot year round. I do rifle hunt on occasion but will not shoot long range unless I have practiced and long to me is 500 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim Report post Posted December 7, 2017 Not really just go hit the roads around greer and big lake. There are little forkies all over those roads. I would just about bet you can hand anyone a bow that can draw it and they can hit at 12 yards within a few shots. The question said 12 yards not 20 or 30 yards. Now that would be a challenge with a long or recurve bow. Just look on this site how many new bows are sold each year as soon as the elk season is over. Most of these guys only buy a bow if they get drawn and then resale until they get drawn again. Now if were talking seasoned hunters good in their craft it takes practice at both sports to be efficient 1 shot killers. We both know that there are guys in both sports that get lucky and there are guys that practice and take their chosen sport very serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
