The uninformed (novice) and the gullible have allowed themselves to be spoon-fed the manufacturer and dealer hype. The infamous 3D influence has introduced and deeply imbedded aspects and thinking that are not overall practical for bowhunting or for the average shooter. Intermingled with the ever-growing hype and confusion is now the celebrity status and influence and the " Bowhunting-is-not-fun-and you-ain' t-no-bowhunter-unless-you-can-constantly-kill-a-big buck-and-you-gotta-have-a-particular-brand and model-to-get-the-job-done" bulls...t propaganda. Then last but not least, the new and gullible bowhunter is intimidated and influenced by the " in vogue" and " keep up with Jones' " rubbish.

Nowadays, the personal preferences and demands of the individual bowhunter whom still knows what is utmost necessary, what is practical, and what is reliable for the close contact sport of deer hunting; is now considered by the " Gucci" crowd and the " techno-partisans" to be a dinosaur and out of the loop. The bowhunters no longer dictate, the manufacturers and dealers do. Most bowhunters now just seemingly abide by the rules that the manufactures and dealers have constituted and enforce, and the lowly bowhunter pays good money to play the game and to be a member in good standing in the " in crowd."
