I just don't like the way its turning...........I don't like the gimickery I see......the lies.....the propaganda.....
I am all for advances and technology in this sport...........but not when one has to "invent" the problem before he "invents" the solution.
Whats worse is that the "industry" insults you and me every time theymake their "claim", then sit back and wait for us to run............
The amount of crap thats being sold for bowhunting is astonishing.
Its a Simple sport, against a simple animal. Technology can't change that.
Well said my friend, very well said!
I was listening to a conversation one time between two bowhunters. They were discussing broadheads when the one guy mentioned a particular brand of broadhead. The other gentleman emphasised that those particular broadheads were not very sharp. The first guy turned and looked him in the eye and said "your talking to a guy that has killed deer with a flint on the end of his arrow, those broadheads are plenty sharp!"
For me that put a whole new perspective on the subject. Perhaps everybody has their own definition of what sharp is. After being banged around in a quiver for a few days or weeks and exposed to the elements even the blades that were shaving sharp lose that edge with no other contact. They may cut hair but not shave hair. If shaving hair is the definition of a sharp head, I would be willing to bet that more deer are killed with "dull" heads than there are with sharp ones.
It is alarming to see the power of the dollar in our sport (I don't even like to use that term "sport". It is more like a way of life for so many of us.).
Quality products are one thing, but when a person compromises their beliefs to the highest bidder to make a buck off of inferior product it is frightening.
