RE: Archery Messageboards at an end?
The boards I visit have slowed down, but just to a reasonable pace now. I check out 4 differnt boards every day, but sometimes I don' t post much. A lot of the questions are from new archers, and If I see good avice already posted I don' t bother. I really only have maybe an hour a day to spend on the differnt sites, so I had to limit the number of posts I a make. wait till September, it will be so busy we will never keep up!

after the rough winter we had , i think baecause its nice outside everyone is out shooting their bow instead of sitting in front of the computer ,especially since alot of people purchased new bows this year! 
iknow i go on in the morning before i start work and at lunch time, one the season come around and it gets dark early it should pick up again. at least lets hope so!![:-][:-]

Frank, another factor to consider, especially in the offseason is, just how many times do you care to answer what do you think of brand x bow, what about brand y broadhead, what about this release, etc, etc, etc. During hunting season the boards will pick up.

RE: Archery Messageboards at an end?
I had noticed a decrease in both this and a couple of other sites I visit. There is no telling how many folks like myself that visit, if not daily, at least weekly that never post. Why, usually the question I want to ask has already been asked or will be. Not to mention, when you are a newbie some question can appear dumb even though I am a firm believer that the only dumb question is the one you don' t ask.
I have had less time since getting my new bow. I am trying to pratice more and read less. Since, I rarely post that gives me more time to read what you " experts" are saying, lol.
I do hope it picks up though.

RE: Archery Messageboards at an end?
Thanks for the replies folks. It is nice to see that not everyone agrees with me. 
Truth be told I did realize that this is not the busiest time of the year for the forums though this year just seems to be a little worse than normal. Heck, I have had a hectic year as well.....I just did not think everyone else was in the same boat.
