RE: Observations.....honest observations.....
GMMAT, I hear ya. I used to be on this site all the time. My post count used to be up in the thousands pre-crashes. The last 3 years or so I come on toward the end of the season to send congrats to those that are successful and get some info on new products.
It used to be a very good site with some very informative guys. Guys like JeffB, Sag, WWAG, Len, and others would have fascinating conversations/debates that helped guys like me out a great deal. None of that goes on anymore because those with the knowledge got tired of being told how wrong they are because their opinion conflicted with someone's personal preference. Nevermind that they were basing their opinion on years of experience and technical expertise, they were wrong because there is no way company XYZ could put out a bad product.
As it is I come on here every now and again and get what I can and make a few posts that hopefully contribute to the site. More often times than not when I'm here long enough I get fed up and leave until the next year. It is a crying shame, but things change with time. I know everyone here means well, but sometimes we get so emotionally attached to a product we forget what we are really here for, the love of archery and hunting.

What do you expect? I ask for some comments on sticks and limbs and I am told that "IT won't fit the bill" and that the "photos are all staged". Am I suppossed to roll over and say, yea, nothing works like that enigma?!!

I really like this site. Sure there are arguments and pi$$ing matches.I think we would be crazy to think there would be constant harmony...[:-]
The problem I see is that thepi$$ing matcheson one topic will spill over onto other topics and the pi$$ing match that originated 2 weeks ago is now being re-hashed in a thread that has nothing to do with the original Pi$$ing match.
Let it go and move on.

RE: Observations.....honest observations.....
I still like this Site. The best thing about this site is talking to other bowhunters from other States and Canada,ect. I got flamed for a post last week and I just brushed it off and made the best of it in my reply. There are alot of good people on this site. So keep posting, It's a New Year soon and we can start off on the right foot.
