1957-late 1980s: flat bow then recurve
1990- 2010: recurve, compound,x-bow and smokeless MLer 1999 -current.
The x-bow is easier to shoot than the compound but has no more range, IMO. Both can shoot accurately at very long range but yardage measurement/trajectory reduces hunting range significantly for both. Any allegations made against x-bow hunting alleging greater range potential by "compound" shooter(s) come from someone(s) who needs to learn to shoot better or at least see what really can be done with a compound. The recurve - that's a different story. 100 yd recurve shooting at game is possible but by the very few( one Olympic shooter I know and Ben Pearson - I've seen him do it, not at game but very small moving tgts).
