RE: Compound vs. Traditional in PA
PaBowhunter, both I "Wingbar" and my uncle "Ulysses" share the same system and at times have posted messages while the other has left the site open.
Charlie P & Pa Bowhunter: just where did you read into my post that I lumped all archers using a compound into the 100 yd shot group? please reread my post as quoted by PaBowhunter . it says "...while a few who claim with their 90% + letoffs..."
It may surprize you both to know I shoot an Xtech by Hoyt complete with level, sights,Simms vibration, etc. but I also own an shoot my own made longbows and Port Oxford Cedars
And Charlie P I take exception to the fact that you feel most of us could not hit a barn from 15 yds.
Where do we stop or at least limit all this technology in archery? That is a good question. I don't think we do.
Better to ask where to draw the limit that we will allow and still refer to current archery as a primitive sport/ My vote is go back pre cables/pulleys. I realize most of today's archers were not even born or hunting in that era. Rather they came along when compounds were widely in use. Do I suggest rawhide and flint...no
I would like to keep the current style of BH though, back in the Ben Person deadhead and Bear Razor Head days not 1 in 50 archers could get them and keep them sharp.
