Well let's see. I started with recurve and killed some critters with it. Then afterr a few years bought a Polar LTD and killed some things with it. I had a PSE Lazer Magnum I hunted with for 20 years. I still own it. Next I bought a PSE SR 1000. I bowhunted and killed a whole bunch of critter with it for about 8 years. Now I've got a Darton that's about 5 or 6 years old. I've killed a bunch of critters with it. You're right, I buy a new bow every other decade or so.[8D][8D][8D]
