Default RE: In ten years how fast will Bows get?

I don't think speed will get too overblown - I do think that we will start to see some of the most accurate weapons ever made. I think bows will get to a point kinda like some guns that can shoot sub-MOA out of the box. I know that there are bows capapble of the that right now, but I think it will get better.

On the flip side, I think we'll see more people start going back to stick and string. It's also like gun hunting, a lot of people started out with trusty, rusty lever guns. They moved on to super accurate, high end bolt guns and then realize that the old lever action gun kills deer just as well without all of the fancy optics and bullets. That's why the 30-30, 45-70, .45, .308, etc. levers are still so darn popular. I can see bowhunters of my generation picking up the old recurves and long bows, trying to find the passion and skill that was lost by bowhunters who are married to the technology they rely on everytime they go afield.
