Surely you consider that a far cry from where archery is currently?????????? I would consider that statement to be in a different league, division, and ball park from the differences in archery today. Would you concur?
Of course. I was exaggerating the analogy so people might realize there should be a limit to the technilogical advancement. Like I said, I don't think we've reached it yet, but I think we may be getting close in some areas. Things like 99% let offs and draw-loc devices are bordering the line where I wouldn't consider the weapon a bow. I'm simply hoping that hunters realize there should be a limit, and once that limit is exceeded the hunting becomes some other type of hunting.

I think that enabling one to reliably shoot a deer at a very far distance will take away from the bowhunting experience.
Did you think that Fred Bear was doing that with a long bow?
I can guarantee you two things. One, Fred Bear shot lots of animals up close and personal. He didn't miss out on anything. He accomplished these feats with skill, not technology. And two, Fred would have had a far more intense experience shooting that tiger at 6 yards, then he had by shooting it at 100 yards.
