New guy getting back into archery

[fatlander]

Your both really sad about this and really concerned about how an arc compares to everything. Did you pay the $1,500 msrp on an arc before finding out thousands of us are still hunting with bows that were $250-500 20 years ago?

If were going to go that route, I made an archery kill last year with a recurve from 1984.

I hunt with two 5 year old bows, actually. One Mathews and one Hoyt.

I don’t care what anyone else shoots, but coming here and saying you paid 1/4 of the price for a switchback as compared to an ARC and that they’re comparable pieces of equipment is just incorrect.

The OP came here to ask about new bows and what’s different from 15 years ago. Telling him falsehoods about the good ole days isn’t moving the needle. Good luck to you.

None of that is what I said. You must have taken it all out of context. I didnt tell him 15 years ago was good. I told him it has only gotten worse.

I dont think op came here to see you start arguments with anyone who doesnt share your viewpoint that more money = better hunting.
