      Its all too much for me fella's , The compound mob and all there technology have stolen our saving grace -" SIMPLICITY " . Being somewhat distanced from the marketing wheel by distance it takes a little while for the latest gadgets to filter Downunder and I'm usually left with a self satisfied feeling that they ' just don't get it ' - Archery is meant to be a simple sport , stick and string , man utilising nature , that sort of thing

   No the buggers have devised a gadget called FOB that is a round bit of plastic with 3 fins surrounded by another bit of plastic        [ moulded one piece ]  that slips over the end of there carbon arrow and replaces fletches , bloody things so simple its brilliant . Saving grace is you need a techno drop away rest to use it so it wont further water down modern traditional , Just had a thought - please dont make a soft one for shooting off the shelf . This one really bugs me - Its all too much . Leave the simple things to us thankyou . regards Perry

1/2primitive:
uhhhh, sight? For instinctive shooters? Please explain, but I don't think I really want to know......
 I've heard of those FOBs, they are crazy, I've seen videos of the guy who designed them, and I got the messege that he actually didn't want to keep it simple, he wanted to change from using feathers simply because they have been used for a while. Wierd.

     I see the DAS[instinctive?] sight as a variation of an existing tool , and am perplexed/interested enough with it that if I ever go techno recurve would give it a go . Back in the early 80's I was shooting all the technology I could buy simply because it fascinated me , still love technology just look for it in differant places ,rediscovering it actually is a great part of my primitive and traditional archery. regards Perry
