Any bow I've owned for four year of use, I considered as totally depreciated(my cost went to zero) and of greater use, to me, as a backup.
(I've got one old bow with one fixed draw length and an overlarge fixed grip, that will fit one in a thousand archers. Kind of knew it would remain with me)

And buying a new bow isn't getting any cheaper. You pay what the market wants; not what you want. For that reason, I take real good care of my main bow and backup, to extend out their use. When I buy a bow, in my mind, it's at least for four years, and I'm not prepared to leave it in the closet, over that period.

I've noticed over the years, stuff of people's winding up taking up space in the closets and garages.
