Default new technology

alright i have been thinking about this for a while...i was wondering if it is really necessary for all these bow manufacturing companies to put all this new technology into these bows. like the mathews with the slim limbs and all the other manufactuers with the new speed and everything that is on these new bows. do you think it is necessary at all. i mean 20 years ago the new bow they came out with still killed deer and was quiet enough and fast enough to do it. what it the point of all the new technology going into these bows. i mean dont get me wrong i love it and i love the speed, quietness, smoothness of my bow but what can they even do to make them better? and if there is anything why? and i dont want to make this an argument about the new technology of the different bow companies i am just wondering please dont turn this into an argument thanks

Well if no one made these advances, bows would still sell. But as soon as someone does something better or faster the others must keep up or lose market share. The companies do it to gain an edge in the business, making us a better, or more efficient hunter is not the goal..it's just a side benefit!

You say that twenty years ago, bows were just fine they way that they were. What your not thinking of is that twenty years before those bows, everything was working fine. You can make that argument with just about everything on this planet.
