RE: fly far how?
I don' think there's that many people dedicated to the sport. For one, how many folks have acess to a 1,000 yard stretch of flat, wide-open terrain? In at least some classes, with the heavy draw weights and light arrows, a bow's life isn't going to be very long. Then you have some very specialized bows that are good for nothing but flight shooting. Seems to me it would take a decicated individual, with plenty of time and enough money, to get to any level of proficiency. I don't think there's that many folks who care to have their name in a book because they got an arrow to fly X-yards.
There's an article in Primitive Bowhunter about flight shooting--think it may still be on the stands. I need to re-read it and get back to this.
