I know I'm only 28 but I've been archery hunting for the last 16 years and have seen my share of changes as well. Most of which have been already stated in overdraws, copper pins and lincoln log arrows. I think some of the biggest changes will occur not in the equipment but in the land we hunt. I think as the population grows there will be less and less private land to hunt thus forcing hunters onto public land. This will then result in a need for signup sheets as to the date and time you plan on being there in order to prevent over crowding. I don't see this happening in the next 10 years but I bet that before I die it will come to this. At least here in south central Pa.

As far as technology making it easier such as longer shots I think it's all relative. 16 years ago everyone was happy with a nice group at 20 yards and most wouldn't take a shot in the woods over 30. Today, a lot of people I talk to won't take a shot over 40. 15 years from now I'm sure the magic number will be 50. The problem is that at least where I hunt there is literally only one lane I can see 40 yards so even if I could shoot 1" groups at 100 yards it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, I first have to find the deer, then set up the correct stand, then be in the proper position to even draw my bow and finally actually draw it all the while remaining undetected. Pulling the trigger or releasing the string is probably the easiest part of getting a deer when you think about it. Thus, making bows shoot farther actually only improves the easiest part of the hunt leaving 85% of the challenge unchanged. This is just my 2 cents.
