Something for y'all to chew on

[russ]

A few years ago the archery world was introduced to a new forum. It was all abuzz with talk and great improvements. Most attractive part of all, top archers were participating on the forum with everyday folks. The likes of Dave Cousins, George Ryals IV etc. were at our finger tips helping out our little community. As time went on however backyard experts fixed that, now they rarely answer questions. Why bother, they would try to help and the resulting scourge of criticism and outright disagreement was incredible. An Easton engineer that designed one of the arrows was told that he didn't know how the arrow he developed was made! Top pro's were told they didn't know how to tune bows and other such foolishness. The golden days of pros helping wannabe's such as myself are gone now, all thanks to a few inconsiderate words here and there sprinkled over time.

So now we have to mostly figure things out on our own, no help from the pros. Just because a few people took it upon themselves to kill the golden age of archery on the internet.

Later people.

The best advice i can give you is to email the reeal pros directlly if you have questions.

there are so many "instant experts ' pout there that it is very hard for a fella to give reasonable answers sometimes, without undo critisicm.
I gave up coaching even traditional archers for the same reason.

I got tired of teaching someone the finer points of instinctive shooting and having them contradict me when I knew I was right , and they had "seen it in a magazine' or " been told by someone" that I was wrong.
