Well, 8mmwapiti, my vote would be 8mm cartridges...

.22 Jet, yes. .357 Maximum, not a chance. Big following in shotgun/pistol states and states with cartridge case limitations or straight-walled cartridge limitations. Remington makes a brass run annually.

Well, 8mmwapiti, my vote would be 8mm cartridges... To be a "fad" they would have had to be popular at one time. In the US of A There has only been two dozen 8mms ever sold 12 8 mags and 12 325s. Well that was the last count that I heard. 8mmwapiti

thats funny my son bought one of the lastest greatest bowtechs like $1000 bucks and my old POS woreout High country shoots just as accurate and 20fps faster , but my arrows were 20 grains lighter. guess the modern deer can't be killed with an old bow LOMAO

I spent a lot of time shooting it ... harsh draw, loud, and carried like a boat anchor. of course, i didnt realize any of that until better stuff came along.

Well that was the last count that I heard. 8mmwapiti Well HOT DAM!!! I am in an ELITE GROUP!! I own 2 of the 325's! LOL My vote would be those battery opperated hunting socks that were around in the 80's and 90's
Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group WORKED for their money but the other group didn't.

I can't remember the model right now , and the sticker wore off , it is not one of the 4-runners though. The old magnisum risers with hatchet cams were a bit heavy and rough shooting.

The old magnisum risers with hatchet cams were a bit heavy and rough shooting. the 1st one i had was a "phantom", it had milder cams. 2nd one was the "supreme" with hatchet cams. this was before all of the fancy-schmancy single cam bows came out. which brings up another issue, they shot out of tune in short order.
