Mine was only 3 years ago and it never killed an animal. It was a PSE Typhoon. I still have it and it is a real good bow. But after 1.5 years I was already to upgrade to my Hoyt Vectrix!

My grandfather bought me an old fiberglass long bow when I was around 7. Shot a bunch of old wooden arrows. He bought me an old compound a few years later. I know it was a Bear but I'm not for sure what kind. It was ancient though.

Wow! This takes me back, My first hunting bow was an Indian Timberwolf, back about '85. I quickly upgraded to dads old Darton, that he bought back about 72-73. Man how could I have even let myself in the woods with those bows shooting them as bad as I did then.. Im glad I always missed completely when I got chances.
