"Tune" is a word bow shops use to charge money. If you need some one to "Tune" your longbow or recurve, you need a compound. About 25 years ago a co-worker asked how I could possibly get a deer with a recurve. He shot a compound in a league and considered it a super human feat. I explained that I was a bow hunter, not a bow target shooter. There is a big difference. When the old bows started becoming popular again people wanted to go simple and fun. Human nature being what it is, it wasn't long before "Experts" started selling Fast Flyte string and wanted to tune your bow. Eventually the tide will move towards mechanical bows again. I just have to wonder if all these people that swear by stickbows will stay loyal. It was awful lonely out there in the woods with a stickbow in the early 80's. At one time I had over 300 bows in my collection. I wonder where those guys went ? Hunting with a stickbow is an attitude, not just another hunting tool.
