Yep, not all good or bad.
I hope the competition will continue to pick up, since old timers are slowly fading away. There are many guys who were more active in the 2000’s and 2010’s. And not only terms of flight but hornbows/asiatic archery in general. Bede Dwyer, Adam K, Lukas Novotny etc. I don’t blame anyone, its just that times change. I guess much of the research is already done. Same things said multiple times.
Its really nice we get to shoot flight with Adam still. There is plenty of learning to be done with flight - which also opens the door for historical research in terms of shooting technique, bows and arrows.
