I think when it comes to primitive archery we all have a slightly different perspective on how we see it and what it means to us. A lot of that may have something to do with when we entered the sport and the folks we cut our teeth with. 20 years ago most of us were making a lot of mistakes. We knew there was a lot of room for improvement and everything we discovered or thought we had discovered was like finding a nugget of gold. Back in those days a relatively minor improvement in technique could make a dramatic change in performance.
The first Mojam stats taken were a good reflection of this and those of you who have never had a chance to review them I think you would find them interesting. Over the years I have witnessed a steady improvement in not only performance but many techniques that have been developed or perfected that have all added to this steady improvement.
Fast forward to today, I honestly don't think there is much room left for improvement. refining some technique that gives you a 2 fps boost is as valuable as what used to give us a 6 fps boost. My belief is that today's biggest challenge is simply to become a better bowyer refining the actual process of building and tillering out a bow. I believe we will see so many bows at a high level of performance that looking at trends will be more important than looking at individual bows. I feel like if we can get this broadhead flight shoot going at any of the primitive events that have enough room to sponsor one we will start developing these valuable trends. All the data from these events will be managed at one central location and blended together.
