Default oldest bow

Some of you get new bows all the time but just curious who here shoots an older bow? Who shoots the oldest ?

Great thread! I think Schultzy is in the running for this one! His recurve he hunts with has been his go to bow for many years I believe! I'm sure he'll chime in here soon!

It's not my hunting bow but I have and still shoot a Shakespeare Sierra 45# recurve that was made approximately 1973.

My bows are about like my trucks I usually wear one out before I get another one,,my oldest bow is a '90 model High Country Safari, shot it till Oct 2002 and the bushing in the wheels wore out and the wheels started leaning,I then bought a '02 High Country Premier Pro--talked to High Country they sent me new bushing, so now I shoot them both just according to how I feel. I figure I will get another 20 years out of them two then I will worry about a new one!!!
