There were no commercial interests driving the traditional bow and compound bow movements in the past and present?
Good question.

Just how many years ago were compounds legalized during the archery season? Were they ever "illegal"?
Yes Jeff, I remember when I first started bowhunting in Pa, compounds were not legal at the time, only recurves. I think they became legal somewhere around 1977 or 1978. I'm sure someone can be more specific on this though.
