to be able to buy stuff at these prices? I found this price sheet from Howard Hill Archery in my book of Hunting the Hard Way, which I bought in 1988.

I remember those prices. I know pricing is commensurate with the current economy, but it sure seemed things were a lot more "affordable" back then even considering the common wage structure at the time. [Confused] [dunno]

Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

LOL....that would be nice. My first recurve I got brand new for $37.50, It was a Browning, I got that because the Bear I wanted was $54.00.....that was in 1967. Now a doz. arrows can be well over $100!

I thought you were going to sing the Beach Boys song of that title lol.

If we could get the price of gas what it was back then I could have money left over to buy just about anything lol. We can dream.
