Wow, this thread has sure gotten interesting. There have been some statements that made me bite my tongue and some that made me chuckle. All in all a real good thread. Thanks to bogobble for starting it off.

All I can add is, unless you feel the passion and love for archery, your weapon and the flight of the arrow that I do, nothing I can say to you will help you to understand exactly why I put as much dedication and time into my shooting as I do, or why I prefer to use my own GOD given talents and practiced skills instead of something that was made to artificially enhance or replace them. We are after all, doing this thing called archery and bowhunting for a variety of different reasons. What it all boils down to is, no matter what you hunt with from a bare bones selfbow to the most advanced bow loaded up with all the gizmos, have fun, shoot em straight and make meat. Oh, and if you happen to fall in love with a sexy little recurve or feel a yearning to actually be able to see your arrow as it spins and arches it's way to the intended target, be forwarned, you'll be starting on a journey that is never ending and addicting as all heck.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
