Is this one of the stages of the trad. journey?

As of late, ive been really enjoying the bows of the 50's, and gaining a greater appreciation for them and the builders with every arrow i shoot, seems i just cant put them down. They shoot hard, point well and were built to get the job done, you cant ask for more than that.
Dont get me wrong, i love the new bows( got my eye on one now) but shooting our pieces of history has really stirred the fire for me.
Im not sure what it is, but its sure is fun and addictive!

In 1950 archery was only about 4 or 5 thousand years old.. That is a lot of knowledge passed down..
Why would one think there would be a lot more in the next 50 or 60  years?

In the grand scope of things that is a very small percentage of the whole.

According to   this  source, the earliest bows that have actually been found date to about 10,000 years ago, which is pretty remarkable for a product made of wood. Points which may have been used as arrowheads date to about 64,000 years ago.

Good for you.  I seem to be stuck in the 60's.

Likely as those were the bows I oogled over hanging on mens' walls and in the magazine hero shots in my formative years.

A one-piece recurve is like the curve of your lover's lips.

A few years ago, I bought a Browning Wasp for my girlfriend. At 40lbs it was way too heavy for her. So after a couple weeks of it hanging on the rack, I decided to string it up and shoot it. That changed everything! Of the 18 bows I have, only one is a custom(Stotler Gamegetter)and 4 ILF bows. I've been shooting the ILF stuff alot lately but still string up one of the Bear's, Shakespeare's, or Browning's and shoot
