No doubt, since the mid to late 60's the number of hunters in the field using bows has increased dramatically. I once read an article that said in the 60's to early 70's the number of bowhunters in Michigan was estimated to be 35,000. The estimate is now 300,000…in just Michigan.

I wonder what percentage of those 300,000 bowhunters heard archery and bowhunting was not that difficult to learn in a short a period, bought a compound, finally hit somewhere on a target with at least 3 or 4 arrow, and went deer hunting?
