Default What bows have you owned?

I know a few of you have owned a LOT of bows. I have owned a couple myself, but not as many as some of you. I love to hear stories and remember some of the older bows that were around when I started and even before.

So what have you owned?

My list is as follows, in order of oldest to newest:

Multiple no namelong bows from age 6 to about 10

Darton 35lb recurve

Ben Pearson 45lb recurve

PSE compound - really old school, don't remember model. DL was way too long but I was 12 and I was proud of it.

1994? PSE Polaris Express - Killed a lot of deer with this bad boy, including my first at 13 years old.

1997? PSE Baby G - was loud as heck, shot like crap, but was the newest, greatest thing on the market and everyone thought it was cool. Fast for that time too.

2003 Bowtech Mighty Mite - good bow, too short for me though with a 29" DL. Screwed up my anchor point and I developed some bad shooting habits because of this and the baby g before it.

2004 Bowtech Patriot - LOVED this bow....first bow I owned that fit me like a glove. I won a lot of local competition with this bow, and I managed to break a LOT of bad habits with it and develop some good form.

2005 Bowtech Allegiance - Didn't like it when I first got it because of the draw force curve. Still don't like the draw force curve, but I shoot it better than any bow I have ever shot that was 33" ata or shorter including the Patriot, so I will keep it for hunting/backup 3D bow. Faster than all get out at 29" 70lbs, and 352 grains.

2006 Bowtech Consitution Black Marble - Love it, still haven't shot it (tonight). My first target colored bow. I may be biased, but it is the best looking bow I have ever seen. I hope to shoot it as well as it looks.
