RE: HOW MANY GET NEW BOWS
My bowis approaching 9 years old now. I've killed just about every deer I've ever shot at with it, so not much reason to break the bank on a new one, IMO.
So far, my bow has outlasted: 3 portable tree stands, 3 fixed position stands, 1 fiber optic sight, 6 dozen arrows, 3 new strings & cables, 3-5 dozen broadheads, 1 stabilizer, 2 releases, 2 used cars, 4 pairs of boots, 6 camouflage outfits (coats and pants)and, most importantly,about 30 deer.
No reason to stop the streak now, ya know?
