Ive been shopping for a new bow and visiting a few shops trying to find THE one, brings to mind way back when Jesus was a private and how far archery has come in the last several years.....
I can remember reading stories about Fred Bear and the Pope and Young brothers, I vividly remember the controversy about the use of the "Pod" anyone else remember that?
I got my first little long bow, then graduated to a bear recurve, then finally my first compound bow, a Bear Whitetail hunter and holy moly! ALUMINUM ARROWS! Top of the line back then and I can remember my mom taking me to Conroe archery to get it fitted out and bringing it home and putting it in her closet for a month til Christmas.....about killed me having to sneak in and admire that beautiful piece of magnesium/laminated wood with its sleek round wheels while my parents were out.
I had to adjust from instinctive shooting to shooting with a four pin sight and just about wore out several shooting gloves. Practice, practice, practice.....then practice some more til you could group six arrows in a paper plate to get good enough to try for a deer.
Nowadays, it seems like a few adjustments, a good release and just about anyone can group six arrows into a 3" circle from about 50 yards...
Not bitching by any means, just tripping along with a whiskey drink down along memory lane...
btw......Im still not anywhere close to deciding on my new bow.
