Well, I guess I should clarify a bit. I'd have no problem spending $700 on a Black Widow or custom bow. Its the proliferation of gadgets that bowhunters no slap onto their bow's in their quest for a successful hunt. Now don't get me wrong. If a guy can't hit the broadside of a barn with his stickbow I'd RATHER (and so would the deer AND other hunters) that they hunted WITH the compound and sights, etc. BUT - all things being equal - as far as I am concerned, nothing beats a beautiful wood bow's warm/rich look coupled with some feather arrows and a nice fixed blade broadhead like the Wensel Woodsman, Snuffer, Zwickey, etc.
