Default Time between bows
How much time do you use one bow for. Is it a set number of year? DO you go with the new tech bows or wait till your bow falls apart? I am still on my first since starting hunting it is my third using mine but it has not been shot as much as i would like

Full of questions these days Tim! I went through three bows in about 9 months before I bought my Commander, this will be my third season with it. I really like and shoot it very well. I'd buy a new one this minute though if I found one I liked and just couldn't live without. Unfortunately, they are few and far between at 32" draw lengths. Ross is making one now though that I really want to try out.

Three bows for me as well...

Since 1968...

Current bow is about 15 years old...Hard to find a good finger bow today so I'll shoot it until I wear it out or it can't be fixed...

This will be my 3rd season with my Vectrix XL and I won't be replacing it any time soon. I love that bow!

I was buying 1-2 each year for the past 6 years or so. The 2009 lineups were a disappointment for me so I decided to stick with my bows from last year.
