Finally some good news

You are a much better shot than I am with open sights if that’s really the case (could certainly be true).

I practice a fair bit and there is no way I am good out to 200 with an iron sight muzzy, at least not good enough to reliably make a clean kill.

Same, I feel I am a pretty decent shot. I can't pull it off at 200 consistently enough. Coincidentally I don't shoot at animals with my compound over 30 either, 40 being max in absolute perfect conditions.

Personally I have shot a bull at 200 yards with open sights and an inline. I practiced a pile that year with the gun. The first shot was at 120 second was at like 203 no way in hell I’d send lead at 200 for a first shot

I killed alot of elk in my muzzelloader days from 150 to 200 did practice alot when that's all hunted with though wouldnt hesitate to shoot at 200 with a modern inline( compound or crossbow) flintlock(recurve) things change a bit

@cgasner1 might be a good idea to leave what you do on your own time off the forum

If the compounds bother you so much, start using your recurve or longbow. No one's stopping you.
