RE: Technology
What I' m worried about is " new" technologys' psychological effect on new hunters and people just looking for an easy out in sport. By this I mean people seeing a bow with 99% letoff and thinking that it will easier to kill a deer if you are able to hold a bow back forever. I think this may lead into other problems as well. Pushing things a little too far to get an arrow off at a buck and ultimately wounding it.
I think technology has its place and I love to see what the latest greatest thing on the market is. But sorry, something like a 99% letoff system is not any more different than a crossbow. If you can draw and hold an arrow while the deer is 75 yards away and slowly closing in, what difference would it make?
As I stated before, thats why its called primitave weapons season. I' m not saying my new Hoyt is primitave by any stretch of the imagination, but at least it does have the principle values that make our sport challenging and what it is today.
