Let me tell you, back in 1975 I was at a college doing a speech class and I did a speech on the "New" Bear whitetail I had got. It was a noisey gadget and after my recurve I did not think the compound would take. And the controversy. Aboout 20 years, give or take later, I picked up a bow again. I was impressed how far they had come. I ended up a few years ago, 2002 with a Mathews Ultra Max, the sweetest bow I laid hands on. And I switched to a release and havent put the bow down much since.

As an older timer, I have to aske myself what the need for speed is. we have lighter arrows, faster bows, and why. We were killing deer with recurves and shooting bulls eyes with them, some pretty well! So why are we not focusing on accuracy and practice and hitting what you aim for. And I am not the only one to say it, whether it be a recurve, long bow, fast compound or slow compound, they all kill and kill effectively. All that means is the arrows passes through quicker. Why the need for speed is all i am asking, i never understood. I can hit the the cirle over and over with my Ultra Max, and i never have really had it tested for speed. But you know the deer I shot probably didnt notice whether it went at 250 or 500. All that mattered was deer in the freezer.

And I am curious, why the need for speed? And not being sarcastic, just really dont understand?
