[QUOTE="Locksley, post: 1744666, member: 1107"] Well its a generational thing , thats what it was that caused the older traditional bow hunters to think the younger generation was a bunch of slackers. The traditional bows require years of practice and constant practice to master. The new compounds with sight and 70+ percent let-off can be mastered a lot easier . I shot both types of bows and hunted with both types when I was hunting. But some old Timers never did accept the new bows so that was what motivated some of them to not come around and post as much as they did in the first years of TNDEER. My old hunting buddy OLD TIMER doesnt post much more anymore because he could never understand that it will never be like it was in the 1960s when we were young and the world of Archery was wooden arrows and bows of fine wood and glass fibers. The crossbow useage now has helped get a lot of older bow hunters back into the woods which is good. But it has given a lot of younger hunters the chance to use scope sighter bows on rifle stock too. The young bow hunter guys may never try a compound of recurve or longbow because it is easy to go to Wall-Mart and just buy a machine to do all the work for them. Quote Ruger [ As for the argument that bow hunters ran alot of traditional bow people off, I have to disagree there.] Well not many traditional guys post now so traditional guys did not run off any of the other hunters. Even though I used a compound I still practiced useing it instinctive at 2o yards and closer and I still used my fingers to shoot cause it just felt right. I used real wood grips on my Hoyt and PSE compounds also caused I am still from that old generation that likes the feel of a good piece of wood in my hands. Long live the memories of Ben Pearson , Fred Bear , Earl Hoyt , and the fine bows they made in the Golden Age of American traditional Archery. Locksley [/QUOTE]
