[QUOTE="1Hunter, post: 644230, member: 38802"] I agree very much with what you have to say. I haven't owned an Archery Shop, but, I have several close friends who do. I have found the advent of fiberglass and then aluminum shafts. culminating with Carbon shafts has changed the general structure of Archery. That's only some of the changes in the arrow. What about knocks, vanes and broadheads? Consider the Bow sight and the magnificent strides the inventors have achieved. The finger release has to be practiced and practiced to achieve a release of the string any where near close to that of the mechanical release. Finally the bow itself. There are very few Boyer's who can turn out quality self bows, mainly due to the lack of material. Even the the laminated recurve bows are a far cry form where they started. Great strides have been made with the compound bow. Can you imagine trying to compete in an archery tournament using an old four wheeler with 35% letoff against the modern compound with up to 85% letoff? The thing is that each of the styles of Archery has a place. whether or not we accept that, is up to the individual. The same arguments rage in the rifle community and their choices are up to the individual as well. [/QUOTE]
