From an ad in 1968 Bow and Arrow Magazine.    

Even way back then, there were heretics.    

 

WHAT?? they's chargin' us leftys an extra $75 bucks!!

George, George, George... carbon arras, FF strings, & now your pushing these modern bows...

You're a "new age man" if there ever was one!!!


       

The man who taught be the in's and out's of barebow shooting shot one of those. They were/still are great shooters.

Curtis....when did they move Houston to Missouri.
Dang it....I miss a lot 8^).

It's in Texas County, too...    

You mean to tell me they were shooting metal riser bows, back when it was just archery and not trad?
Well I'll me...

Love it, George....    I've been trying them... it's mind expansion without drugs  :^)  I've decided I have a split personality... I shoot Hills off the shelf with wood arrows, bow canted trad style.  i shoot recurves with a raised rest and carbons, bow vertical.   Didn't even realize I was shooting them differently until yesterday, when I noticed.  As I told someone else today who was worried about the "tradness" of limb protectors, it's a matter of whatever twangs your string...

Earl E. Nov...mber,   this will really freak them out.  From 1968:

Arrow wraps from 1951...



Mechanical relase, 1950...



Some kind of wierd bow sight from 1947...



Read the caption...

See the crossbow at the bottom of the page of the above post, it was advertised as early as 1950,

This is in August of 1950 American rifle, that crossbow is on the front cover !

They started deluding archery early

 

Pastor Carl

Well, at least they had it in the right magazine.  

Jason's got it right!! At least they put it in the Rifleman magazine instead of trying to pass it off as archery!
