I have to admit I was a compound junky for awhile.A 50 yard shot was nothing just another walk in the park a trained ape could do it. I shot ocasionaly just to check my pins and make sure nothing rattled loose.Then a about a year ago I tried a longbow and was hooked.I shot everyday just because i loved to shoot.I then tried a recurve and will NEVER look back I shoot everyday and truly enjoy it.Some of todays high tech toys push the envelope a bit but if the person using it truly enjoys it then more power to them but if they use it because it prolongs the season with no real effort or skill then they will be the ones to end our sport,because it means nothing to them.
