Hard question..without new technology we would not be here asking this question...but...all in all I am ok with new technology, but, maybe for one season we should go back to recurve and longbows as our fathers and grandfathers had in the 50's and not carry any of the new technology with us that we have in todays world. Nobody here would go to that extreme....I don't think!!! My next bow addition will be a recurve by the way, but I won't give up my warm clothing.
