When I bought my Pearson Pride I kept the Anaconda for a backup. It was such a sweet shooter I was temted to keep using it as my primary bow. I decided to give it to a friend and the same weekend I ended up losing my new bow (after I already had given the Anaconda away). Man, was I bummed. Anyway, I bought a new Pride and all was well again. I've still got a Proline Point blank, a High Country Quad, and a Bear recurve if needed but won't hunt with them unless I lose my bow again.[8D]
