Seems to be a lot of high horses in the archery world. A few years back overheard a compound bow hunter criticizing x bow hunters. A old guy who shot a recurve commented they he was cheating with the compound bow. I guess they were all fortunate their wasn't a long bow hunter that whittled his own wooden arrows there to look down his nose at the both of them. Archery equipment has come a long way.

I took up bow hunting back in the late 80’s with a cheap Fred Bear compound bow. I got good enough after practicing for a summer to kill a few hogs then lost interest. I’m thinking on taking it back up next year. It gets me in the woods a month early at my lease in Alabama.
I will probably go with an Excalibur maybe 380 matrix crossbow. I’m 61 these days. I’m sure a few of younger compound bow hunters a camp might look down there nose at me but I don't really care.


Life can be rough on us dreamers.
