I do not feel all of the technological advances are taking anything away from our pastime. These advancements make it more enjoyable for me.

I believe the "hunting" industry has brought more to the table then the archery industry to make it "easier" ....

If I had to choose between having Gore-Tex gear, high loft layering materials,Thinsulate boots and an old beat up bow......

or

Army BDU's, flannelsand a brand spanking new bow...

I'd take the gear to keep me warm, dry and comfortable hands down every time..... I believe weather conditions hinder us more then 230FPS VS 330FPS ever could.

BTW... What would you rather have?
