Isn't getting close the reason we hunt.If not we'd all shoot compounds at 80 yards.

even with wheels i cant make 80 yrd shots ;D

Looking at that arrow gun got me to thinking. One thing that would seperate all of them is if there was no longer access to the materials and technology of the Compound bow, compressed air arrow gun, or the fibreglass bow. If any of them broke and you could not get resin, meta,l machined parts or nylon pulley's and string, you would be screwed if you had to have it to survive. If a self bow broke you could make another one from numerous species of trees and manufacture your on string from organic material, vegetable or animal.
And someone said on here once before, "If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?"
sailordad:
Eddie, i like your line in qoutes at the end of your last post
mind if i steal it ??? ;)
mullet:
Go ahead, Tim, Forgot who I stole it from. ;D
Dave 55:
Archery is pretty much a journey I think ,for sure these days,some who start out on wheels will feel the call to a more trad bow,some who enjoy it will continue on to selhbows and such.Alot will be happy with sights,releases and so on and miss the spirit and enjoyment of it all.Take the guys who blow the dust of there compounds a few weeks before season for instance but the manufacturers want the sales so they give them what they want to be successful with a minum amont of effort.
