Default RE: Can this be the future of bow design?

Mahly, I' d take you up on that $1 a shot run through the course, IF I do the setup. Even better, I' d go you a dollar a point.

Not that I' m all that great a shot, but there are shots I can easily make with a recurve or longbow, or barebow compound, that you couldn' t even attempt with all your fooferaw. That' s why I don' t hunt with all that stuff. It' s too restrictive. I' m too limited in what I can do when I' ve got sights on a bow.

When shooting sights, I HAVE to hold the bow just so or I don' t hit anything. If I have to cant the bow to get clearance for my limbs, I' m sh*t outta luck. If I' m in deep woods during the last half hour of legal shooting time, I can still see plenty well enough to shoot. Sights disappear unless they' re lit. And if they' re lit, they' re probably too bright to see anything on the other side of them.

No, I can' t shoot with as consistant accuracy as you can in perfect conditions, but I can wear you out in imperfect conditions.
