Wouldn't it be nice
« on: May 30, 2012, 09:47:00 AM »
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:

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.
