| New and expensive vs older and cheaper
What advantage is there in new expensive bows? Is it possible to shoot well with an old reliable, smooth shooting bow, and a good set of well tuned, matched arrows? It seems possible, but there must be a reason it is MORE possible with newer equipment, right?
I shoot classical gear the vast majority of the time. I don't use a site. I've been spending more time with some guys that shoot compounds with sites and releases. I do have a compound bow, one that I haven't shot in 8 to 10 years. It was old when I got it. I plan on bringing it back from my parents at the end of the month and giving it some test runs. I've no idea if it is still a reliable piece. I have recently shot a few 20+ year old compounds. One of them kicked like a mule and the other would give your palm a pretty heavy buzz. I looking forward to examining the difference between fact and memory.
