BOWFANATIC " If thats the case , then you and I , and probably everyone here , know people who harvest deer every year that dont deserve to hunt."

Yes and I see people who aren't fit to drive cars and yet they do. The difference ? Bowhunting is under attack, and irresponsibility adds fuel to the fire. Shooting an untuned bow is irresponsible.

Truth is, if I could get a 50# longbow that'd shoot an arrow well at 250 fps, I'd buy one. Why ? More speed = more KE and momentum. You won't see a longbow doing that though.

In a few years when Matthews and Bowtech unviel a 1 1/2 pound bow that has 95% hodling weight, a fancy little high tech device that makes drawing the bow very easy too and one that spits a 450 gr arrows 400 fps, what will ya'll think about that ? One pin out to 50 yards - too much technology ?
