Back in the days when:

A top-o-the-line hunting bow cost about $200.
KE was not even thought of.
60# was the max most could handle.
20% letoff
Steel cables, dacron strings
Berger buttons and flipper rests were IT
Wooden risers not even cut past center shot.

Yeh, those were the days. Things are a lot better now except for the KE thing and all the number crunching. Shooting was the rage--field.
