Default RE: Is this what we are heading towards?

Why do you guys care? No one is going to force you to shoot something like that so why is it so important that everyone else should have to do it exactly like you do?
Silentassassin, I care about archery and bowhunting. I have watched something special being gnawed at and chipped away in the name of progress and dollars for many years now, to the point that there is practically no resemblance to what it used to be. If I didn't care, I'd see things exactly the same way you do.

We used to look at all new products with one thought: Is it good for archery and bowhunting? Now there are guys like you who's first question is: Why do you guys care?

I pity you, SA, because you will never get to experience the kind of bowhunting that I once knew. Of course, you won't understand and think I'm being a smart@$$, but I'm actually being sincere. Remember that I was 16 years old and already a veteran bowhunter by the time the compound bow was even invented.

There are others here who are in my age group. Just ask them about those days. I'm sure they also remember the days when someone actually had to accomplish something before he could feel proud of himself.
