Redpath:

May I suggest that you look into Checkmate Recurve bows. Nice products, excellent pricing!

As Frank mentioned, I am OLD (51), and get a little crotchety when people start talking about quantum leaps in technology. I guess I just don' t get the point sometimes. Even so, I am interested when new bows come out.

I currently have a great bow. It is set up simply (by my standards, anyway). No peep sight, 3 pin fiber optic sight (which I may change to something simpler till next year), a Winn release that I clip directly on the string, and the dreaded " Whacking Basket" rest. It shoots broadheads perfectly straight, and as accurately as I can shoot. I don' t worry about anything happening to it though.

If I am going to try something new for next year, it will probably be a stickbow of some kind. I don' t know if I will get good enough to hunt with it or not, but I will be able to shoot it when I take my boys to a local club and shoot their paper animal round. That is more important to me right now.

I don' t really begrudge anyone trying to develop new products, but I am pretty analytical when they start telling me I need them.
