You can have your opinion, mine was / is that nothing should change. I should hit the same spot at 30 I did the day before... but, I still limited my self to 10 yards despite being sure I could shoot the same as before, and mainly because of the peep... not because it was restrung. Sights were never adjusted, not even after pulling it apart and fixing the peep, just took it out in the yard and dropped arrows in the target right where they should. Not trying to be mean here, but I have been around the block, had that bow in pieces many times, built new parts for it, etc... I dont need the ethics police to tell me how I should hunt or shoot... I pretty much worry about my own ethics not others, and a lot of people should learn from that.
Not trying to be the ethics police. Thats why I said "it doesn't seem" opposed to "thats not". Its all about personal beliefs. Personally I would need to sling an arrow into a stump and know its shooting properly.
Glad its all shooting straight. Good luck out there!
I should add that I understand when folks get defensive when ethics are brought up, there are alot of toxic forums out there where people just attack other people. Thats not what I was trying to do. I think its very productive to talk with other sportsman about what is ethical and I simply brought up my intital instinct of the situation. My intent was not to tell you you were wrong by hunting with the bow.
