" To say you shoot a recurve because of the enjoyment of the bow, and simplicity of the equipment, I'd agree with that, but don't go saying that it's the "pure way", or the "right way". "

I never said traditional was the right way, did I ? This isn't a question of the right or wrong way, its a question of when does technology get to the point where hunting with a high tech, all the options compound goes beyond what bowhunting is suppose to be ?


" Gadgets to increase accuracy are great, as long as it supports the traditional method of shooting-pull it back, aim, and shoot. Most gadgets that have come along support accuracy, not increased distance. That's the way it should be"


Does accuracy not increase distance ? Theres another debate right there. Pull it back, aim and shoot - is this the definiton of bow hunting ? It wasn't 200 years ago, was it ? Or was it ? Is cross bows not as traditional as it gets ? Surely, releases, lazer sights, etc etc do not conform to what archery use to be ?

I love gadgets, I loved fooling around with new tech stuff on my compounds. I have found equal love in building arrows, string, studying tradional archery styles, forms and lore. I tinker, thats what I like to do. But the questions being asked are being evaded I think because the answers to them are not the ones ya'll are wanting to hear.
