Well.....the numbers are high.....but skewed for one reason. I've only been shooting bows for a short time. I'm learning what I like.....but I've gone through a few to get where I am.
Never shot a bow until fall of 2005. Bought a Mathews. Loved the bow. Loved the Bowtech, more. Picked up speed and gave up nothing in the switch from one bowtech to the one I currently own.
So....every year, so far. I've got a pretty good thing going with my shop, though.....and he makes it very palatable for me to be able to do this.
well, the trend for me has been a new bow about every3-4 seasons. Mathews totin' the whole way!

i usually will try to get one, if the new technology is much better than the one i have now. i plan on buying this year. but what ever hunting bow i use, gets up todate stuff on it every year, if needed. last year i bought a qad rest, new lite quiver, and extreme sight. the year before i replaced the strings. i will prob.. keep my current bow forever, but i will hunt with a new one this season. i love bows. i enjoy them much more than my rifles.
I have been bowhunting since 1989 and I have had one hand me down, and I have purchased 2 since, so that is about one every 6 years. I have had my most recent bow since 2000, so I am well overdue to buy a new one.
Think my wife will buy that logic???

I have always upgraded almost every year. I like keeping the lastest technology in my hands and at the same time I get more out of my previous year bow than I would waiting 3 or 4 years. I've done that for most of the 40 years I've been in Archery. I guess that's one reason I've owned about 60 bows
