    Its definitely way out of date.

    Bows were shooting 200 - 230fps and only 5% of archers were using carbon arrows.

    Wow, there's a ton of interesting information in that thing! The amount of money we spend, the educational levels, the income levels.

    Great link, Rico.

    Very interesting. Alot of people (especially anti's) think we're just a bunch of inbreds.

    Thanks alot for the article. I can't believe the average bowhunter spends 4000 a year...back then... You could probably add another 1000 for today

    Interesting. I like the way they tracked deer to see the wounding rate and the cost of things.

    It would be nice to see that study with a 2005/2006 date. Think about all the changes since then.
