Let me first admit, I am still what I consider a newbie in regards to archery but have been a gun hunter for about 40 years. Please don't throw me out - yes I still hunt with a gun.

Now to the subject matter. I just have not taken the time to read much in the last three months, much less think of posting. But a little history first.

I decided in 2002 to go into Archery in hopes of going on an archery Elk hunt in MT. So I read all the reveiws I could, tried a few bows and purchased a 2002 Cybertec. Nice bow, took a wild hawg with it. Then the 2003's come out, new and improved. Read all the reviews and tried a bowtech. Had to have one, so I sold the Cybertec (don't ask how much money I lost) and bought a Pro 40 DC. Actually shot better. I do think the bow had some to do with it but agreed I now have shot for a year, at that time.

More to the point, so having about had it with taxes I decided to read a few reviews ---- and whoa all the new bows with great reviews. But wait what is going on!!! In rifles, we essentially are using the same bolt actions for over 100 years with some modifications. Heck, the 30-06 will celebrate its 100 year anniversary in two years. The 1911 semi-auto pistol is now nearly 100 years old. Yea, I know the new WSM and WSSM but really no major changes. Sure bullets change, but this is an archery forum.

So back to my subject " The Problem with Archery?!" I can't keep up with the changes ---- that's what's the problem. I can't afford the Divorce, I mean the new bow each year. If a person is going to change bows each year why don't they just lease them to us. You know lease not buy. If you don't intend to keep something you rent it. So maybe I should have placed this on eders or somewhere. Hey, new business venture. Bow rental!!

Please don't flame me too bad. I say all the above with tongue in cheek. I just would love to go try some of the new bows but I think I'll stay with my old antique 2003 BowTech Pro 40 DC.

Now that I have ranted, think I'll do a few more tax returns.
