FOBS , Its all too much for me .
D. Tiller:
Ahh that stuff has been arround for thousands of years. Try taking a peice of fur and wrapping it arround the end of your arrow. Does the same thing! Its just a bit of drag in the air to keep the arrow pointed at the target. Anything like fur or somethin maybe even ... feathers! seems to work.
perry:
I relise that fobs are just another lateral step from a primitive idea such of wraps fur and unsplit feathers and some other things being attached to the tail of arrows to create drag but wonder if they induse enough stability to steer broadheads , have any of you fella's tried this . regards Perry

i am sorry but im not a complete traditional or primitve archer. i will hunt witha compound this year because my 40#longbow is insufficient. i would like to make a 50# osage(i will be starting one shortly)maybe i can drop copounds then because the longbow is more fun.
i' ve never shot them but i think FOBs are a joke and i think the are really ugly
D. Tiller:
Me too! Its just another Gimmik. Shoot arrow, bust fob buy another Fob. I think they just wanted to FOB it off on us! ;D

I really don't care for the technologically advanced bow--pretty much like I don't care for the technologically advanced lifestyle. I'm accustomed to it, and to spoiled by it in many degrees. That being said with all the technological advances there have been for archery....i.e. the scope, the balancers, the sights, the color coded ranging tabs, etc. it just makes me think, "Why not use a gun?" I mean why do people go with ALL that stuff, and then are still able to say "I bow hunt." Just bothers me. Go buy a really cool gun and kill a deer 600 yards away with your gun and brag about it. But, please don't compare the compound bow with all those gadgets to traditional "I just made my own bow out of wood from my own land, and sinew from a previous deer" No comparison in my mind.
