Nothing was take out of context, let alone completely out of context. It is a simple matter of combining reading comprehension and totality of circumstances. The writing has been on the wall for a very long time. Apparent as the skin on your face.

I too see nothing wrong with a person buying top of the line equipment… if that is what that person desires to do or believes is necessary, and being proud of it. However, with too many, the pride factor has escalated to the level of being monotonously obnoxious and nose-in-the-air, believing and espousing that high-priced gear is a necessity for bowhunting and that anything less is used by those other people.

Truth is, there is very little advantage had from much of the new gear, but a lot of downside when in the hands of the average shooter. In some areas of bowhunting, there are no advantages whatsoever. To sum it up; most of the stuff is overkill.

It goes without question that person can spend his or her money as he or she wishes. I just want to send a message to the person thinking about getting into the sport, the novice, and the shooter that still hunts with an "outdated" bow. Do not buy into the bunk (propaganda)! You do not need a new Corvette just to run down the street to the neighborhood grocery store.

Use good solid gear and put your emphasis on hunting. If it is true that you have to have a Bowtech, a Mathews, a Hoyt, etc. to do the job, I had better find a way to resurrect all the deer and other game I killed with recurves.
