Good point about the seasons and distinctions, but I also look at that point this way--no only is archery advancing, everthing else is too. Rifles are much more accurate than they used to be, and their technology progresses right along with everything else. Pretty soon the rifle hunters will be shooting with lasers, yet we as bowhunters will still be shooting an arrow off a string! Whether or not they are doing 400, 500, or even 1000 fps means little, because everything else tech-wise is moving along at the same pace with it. Look at muzzleloader season, they are so close to rifles now that it is incredible, yet they still have their seperate season also. I think we have pretty fair legs to stand on if you think about that aspect for a minute.
