RE: The Problem with Archery?!

ArthurP:

While I remember those days and agree with some of what you posted, I still contend that the industry has grown in leaps and bounds over the past 25 years. While I read in your post more about recreational archery, my post tends to encompass both the recreational and hunting aspect of our sport.

The deer population explosion that we have witnessed in the past two decades has attracted a lot of NEW hunters to our sport. The increase of deer, coupled with the increase of property development, has caused some really unique situations that we never faced in the past. I can't tell you how many gun hunters come into the shop each year because they can't hunt the 'good' spots with guns. They are also trying to get into the longer archery season and want to enjoy a bigger 'challenge'.
