No truer words were ever spoken. I go way back before the compound both in hunting and competition. There is no doubt the equipment is a lot better now then back in those days. But there are still many many people who still take game every year with the old style equipment right down to wooden arrows. In todays worls we tend to think if I just had that new 800.00 bow I know I would be a better shooter which in some cases that does happen due to mind over matter. Yes the new bows are quiter less vibration. The new rests are far better then when I started and the arrows back then it was either wood or fiberglass and heavy fiberglass at that. But you know what I dont care what you shoot the decked out bow that you now have over 1000.00 in and 150.00 arrows 35.00 broadheads 200.00 scentlock a 100.00 feeder it all comes down to knowing the distance holding steady and taking the shot at just the right moment and if you do all the right things and have decent equipment be it old or new then you will score.
All that being said I just purchased a Bowtech Guardian to replace my Darton Maverick which is only 6 years old and with which I took 2 bucks and a doe this year. I guess I just had some money to waste [8D]
