RE: Bows becoming too high $ to buy...
Actually, when you look at it, you don't really need to spend big $$$ for bowhunting. You can be just as successful with 10yr old equipment as you can with todays state of the art stuff.
Just as Double Creek mentioned we keep paying, they keep raising. It's not just limited to bowhunting. If you want the latest and greatest stereo system, super crisp plasma screen TV, fastest sports car, massive SUV, etc. You're going to take a hit in the wallet.
