archery gear
OK I know the world has changed and NOTHING is cheap by any means
but does anyone think archery gear prices are getting crazy high?
I mean 40+ bucks for 3 broadheads, or a $ 100+ for a dozen arrows?
or $ 1500-2,000.00 for a crossbow, or bow??
and yes there are low end models
but when I look at entry level rifles say and then there better models the difference is as huge as from archery gear!
I mean a bow is a wear and tear item, a rile, is, as well, but a string doesn't last as long as a barrel, and no need to shoot a rifle as often to keep skills as a bow(IMO)
35+ yrs a bow hunter, I have seen and owned a bunch
my late 90's and newer 2000's bows
are about as fast as most are today(different tech sure but speeds haven't gone a up BIG time, and I shoot pretty accurate out of all mine, as do most competitive shooters do with old as to new)
rifles have gone up too, but, a rem 700 as an example was about 500 bucks back in the early 90's and went up about what 200 now?
a top line bow back in the early 90's was maybe 500-600 bucks, a top line bow now is what 2-3 times that now??
much more increase on archery gear IMO again as to other forms of gear and weapons!
just wondering what others feel about prices, not a war on me being cheap LOL
and yes I know materials have changed, but aluminum risers have been about a LONG time as good strings too!!
SO >>??
