Yea Dan, the "good old days"! My first compound was a Bear Polar LTD, I think it cost $150.

I bought my very first New Compound Bow in "73" I think, and I paid $125 for it. The last sight I bought cost over $200

One thing for sure is...I'll shudder to think what the 'PRICE' for a bare bones compound bow will be like...ten years from now.
Probably, who knows, many of us may ever revert to traditional stick bow hunting, life cycles 360º.

Bummer!
It was kind of like throwing rocks (only more deadly) You throw enough of them and you can get pretty darn good.
I wouldn't starve either way! Speaking of I think I'll go lay out some Deer Brats for supper

Back in 1993 I bought my first compound. A Browning TimberWolf, a whopping $135 bare bow. I shoot Bowtech now, but what's an average Browning going for? Say 600. Low ball it and say the average price of a bow came up 450 in 15 years, think about it. Inflation, cost of living, all that good stuff. I am not sure its really come up all that much when you look at it relatively speaking.

People who use the "look at the last (10, 20, 30 years))" stuff need to consider this. Technology is going to hit its peak soon, especially with hunting. I think the bigger problem will we be land and access. Poaching and trespassing are going to be on the rise because of this.

I think it will be harder to find land to hunt. I was reading that in North Dakota they are trying to decided what to do about people buying land then reselling it less the hunting rights. Just like people can sell their land but keep the mineral rights.
