Fun topic.

I think that I will probably go retro. Trade my single cam in for a stickbow and hand crested cedar shafts. I like seeing the arrow fly downrange.

I was watching a hunting show on TV the other night with my parents when my mom asked what type of rifle they were using. "It's a muzzleloader," I said. "No it's not," she said, "it has a bolt action, a scope and a stainless steel barrel." But it was indeed a very high tech blackpowder muzzleloader that to me was so advanced that it violated the spirit of the blackpowder-only hunt.

Maybe we will soon approach a zenith of technological advancement with our modern bows that will violate the 'primitiveness' of our sport. How about a 75 or 100 yard bowhunting shot with an extremely fast and accurate arrow? How about a micro sized guidance computer and steerable vanes/rudders like they have on modern smart weapons? Turn the dial on your bow to 'buck' aim in the general direction and let her fly?

I don't know how much more modern I care to be.
