What do you think we will look back on in 10 years and say. I can't believe I used to do that? Or use that.

Like overdraws and super short arrows and things like that.

Good Question:

I look back on when I started hunting 1995/1996. The one thing I wouldn't use today would be non-fiber optic sights. I remember painting my pins with fluorescent orange, yellow and red paint. Brass pins that must have been 1/32-1/16 of an inch wide. LOL

I would like to see in the next 10 years, a replacement product for the range finder. Maybe glasses that wherever you looked, gave you a yardage. That would be sweet.

I really think u have got a winner there, that sounds like a real good idea!

As far as ten years from now i am gonna say were gonna look at the bows that are being produced today and laugh! The other thing will be 35mm trail cameras!(I still use one) HA! Wow this is gonna be a good post i just cant think of any right now!

Good Post:

I remember having the mongoose sights on my PSE, it didn't have a guard, Ipainted the tips and my bow was so out of tune that my pins did not line up evenly. I also had this big heavy overdraw, shooting arrows that were short little telephone poles.

I also used to wear 100%cotton long underwear, I would work up a sweat to my stand and then wonder why I was freezing an our later. I would get home at night and I would still be wet.
