There is a rumour going round that FITA are looking to get compound archery into the Olympics. If this became the case, I was wondering what effect it would have on recurve archery? As it is now, at many shoots within G.B., half the entrants are now compounders and despite the Olympic inclusion, I can forsee the growth trend to continue, for, it wasn't that long ago when a compond bow, at a target shoot, was a rare sight. I was mulling over this aspect of archery whilst having a brew and got to thinking if and how the world of recurve archery would change, and given time, would the recurve bow become destined to the backwaters of useage in competitions like that of the Longbow, in other words, a minority activity?
