I think that among people who hunt in a primitive culture they assume everyone in their group are excellent shots but also excellent trackers. We modern men are primitive when it comes to tracking compared to those experts. I wonder that when hunting as a group they continue to shoot multiple arrows from different members to continue to wound the animal until a kill shot happens or they bleed from multiple wounds. A group hunt of a primitive culture is a completely different ball game. Everyone would share in the meat. Their ability to track a wounded animal was probably very great and they would hunt a large animal for days if necessary to finally bring it down. At least that is my understanding. Please feel free to correct me about these impressions.
I feel we are bound to only shoot within are abilities to get in the kill zone so we can bring it down quickly. We also need patience and judgement and wisdom to not shoot unless we feel very confident. The reason I hunt is to connect with nature. If I do not get an animal that is ok. If some people give in to the need to get an animal they may not use good judgement when taking a shot. We all need to emphasize this to others. Hunting should not be about competition but about experience. IMHO
