RE: Technology
I Do agree that a 99% letoff bow is not my cup of tee but the technology in it does intrique me.What I mean is if we make a bow with 65% letoff with the same technology,wouldn' t that make for a more efficient piece of equipment.I understand and agree that this wouldn' t make a hunter any better of a shot or hunter but the equipment would be improved.Now you can shoot lower poundage with the same results as the high poundage and not burn your shoulder out.Some of you older guys may know what effect years of shooting too much poundage can do to your shoulders.
What I am trying to say is not to totally denounce the technology because sometimes you need to work through " THE GIMMICK" to get a usefull advancement.
New world records in archery are being set all the time at a much quicker rate than any time in the past.Equipment plays a big part but coaching and the availability of coaches plays a big part also.
