Amen Chad!! I can see how going totally primitive would have it's appeal.... It's like a second hobby all together..... Seems most of them are more into making the equipment rather than tweaking their setups for maximum performance..... I'm a bowhunter first, that means I want and demand the best equipment..... BUT, I do have limits to my madness as well.... For instance, I like a wood bow(w/ carbon ), I don't care for sights or arrow rests......But if you do, great!! The sport is so facinating!! You can go any direction you wish and have a great time doing it!!! And at the end of the day, we are all one big brotherhood..... I love the fact that I can look at peoples scores and really respect it!! B/C I know what kind of work and experience it took to get there!! I love it!!!!!! The compound guys just don't know what they are missing!!
