OLD BOWS

WVSPORTSMAN · 07-17-2008, 06:45 AM

I see every once in a while guys talking about a certain bow they sold or wished they still had there favorite bow. If you could pick any bow of days gone by, what would it be and why...Are there any old models that you would still buy today?

I think I still have all the one's that I have liked trough the years. Sold the one's I didn't.

Its not very old but I had a Fred Bear Epic extreme that I wish I didnt sell. and a Golden Eagle. Both were great bows.

My three favorite bows of all time were the Hoyt ProVantage w/Carbon Plus limbs, Martin Firecat (late 80's vintage) and the Golden Eagle Hunter. I'd still buy any of those again today, even as dreadfully slow as the GE was. Few bows shot as well as those three did.

The Golden Eagle Hunter, or my Old PSE Nova, first real bow I ever had. That was back when real tree camo looked like someonebarfed colors.

I thought your Brack was the one that got away.

These guys wouldn't know a Brack from a brick, so I didn't mention it. [8D] But yeah, I've been mourning that one ever since I let it get away. Can't get a new replacement because Jim made mine and he's gone to the happy hunting grounds.[&o]

I would LOVE to find a High Country Sniper in good shape. Man, that bow the the bomb back in the day. It was a wheel bow, so not very fast, but it would just stack arrows on top of each other. If anyone has one they want to get rid of, shoot me an e-mail.

You just reminded me, kickin buck... I never owned one but I always kinda had a hankering to get a High Country Excalibur. So add that one to my list.

LOL.

Sorry to remind you. I still see used ones floating around (made by Jim). I was thinking about putting skins on mine, but then thought against it. I just leave it as is.
