that being said, although the new bows are awesome, a lot of those mid to late 90's were plenty accurate in their own right. i myself dont really see that much difference in the new ones. seems to me that in the late 90's technology was at least similar to what we have now, minus maybe the parallel limbs. i dont know, but i do think that the early mathews, some of the hoyts, pse's, high countrys, and such were just as accurate back then, from what ive seen tournaments scores back that up....at least around here.
Brad, I agree that a few from the late 90's are just as good as today's bow. But I will say that most were not as good. My Fury is a example of this, Martin made them from 96 to 99. Its a good bow if you want a fast arrow but other then that is nothing like todays bows. It is so loud, and has a lot of hand shock, plus it's not shooter friendly (ie unforgiving). I am so used to working hard to shoot good that is feels like a breath of fresh air to shoot a well balanced bow that seems to shoot itself. I have found even more joy of shooting my bow than before. It feels like I am new to bow hunting and shooting again. Thats a awesome feeling!
