Just curious who, of my fellow archers, uses sights, stablizers or an other gear to improve accuracy and who still shoot instinctively. Doesnt matter if its a compitition shoot or hunting or just practicing in ur back yard. I personally shoot instinctively. I use a browning compound @ 75 lbs and can consistanly shoot 600 arrows per day.

@masteroftheunknown: Started shooting wen I was abt 12 with an old Bear Super Kodiak recurve at graduated from there. Currently shoot a Hoyt Carbon Element.

Nice. Whats ur take on wether or not archery wil make a full come back? I see locally around me there r 3 times as many ppl getting into archery as ther was 10 yrs ago and if as i predict that # will double in 5 years from now. What do u think bud?

Its huge here as far as hunting goes, 3D as well. A lot of people here are archery only hunters now

I prefer geared up if i am big game huntin pv i have a pse longbow for birds and rabbit. In my area archery is a big deal but in the last 3yrs the has been a major jump n new comers to the sport

@ ram that awesome to kno. My dad and i were the first in this area (of abt 1500 ppl) when we first move here 20 years ago now there like 500. Its reall cool

@ dan-glad to hear its picking up in ur area too. I am really starting to find that the use of guns is depleting alot. Think jakes too r starting to realise tho a bow is quiet even tho there little chance of a quick getaway. As for hunting i think bowhunting is more challenging and i like a good challenge. Nothing gets ur blood pumpin faster than shooting a big whitetail buck first thing in the am... Except maybe s*x lol

Yeah the up close and personal is the way to go. Theres nothin like a mature animal so close the can hear your heart beating. To me theres no real challenge in takin a animal with a rifle at long distances
