Arthur P - I see in the future more crossbow legalized in many more states. I also see higher tech bows ... how I am not quite sure but they WILL do it. Mathews, Bowtech, Hoyt ... they are every bit as much out to sell products and make money as Horton and Excalibur. Geesh, compounds are already accurate enough that guys out west regualrly shoot 50-60 yards - farther than most trad hunters and crossbow hunters would think !

Want to sell $1,000,000 worth of bows ? Make them easier to use, more accurate and make one that allows a guy to pick it up and hit quarters at 75 yards everytime. You do that, you make millions and people would buy the heck out of 'em. In doing so you'd remove most of what archery IS - the dicipline, the practice, the pure love of shooting ... but you'd sell bows !

Sad but true.
