Not necessarily. Putting out a bag of corn and setting up over it doesn't really require much sign reading and attention to detail. Finding deer sign, setting up on it, and having it all work out is what it's about

To me it does. I know I worked hard for the animal and I did what many can't.

How does it handle broadheads? The pro at my local bow shop says he has one that'll probably get me through a years worth of use.

with today's technology, most BH's fly the same or very close to field points. Once your bow sight is fine tuned and adjusted for BH's, why do you continue to shoot them ? Wouldn't it be smarter to shoot FP's 80 times a day and only shoot BH's when double checking your sight yardage tape before a hunt ?

I don't shoot bucks unless they are mature, so I may go several seasons without killing a buck. I usually take 4-5 does a year for meat. Honestly, I had just gotten to where there was no thrill in shooting a doe 150 yards away with a rifle. But when you have to get them in close, get drawn back without getting busted, and put that arrow in just the right place, that's enough to get the adrenaline pumping, even with a doe.
