Its scary how much we think alike, I was going to say the same thing unitl I read your post,now becasue its been said by you, I will just have to add a agreed at the end.


Here are the bows I own from oldest to newest. All are in perfect working order and are fully set up with sight, rest, quiver, andstabilizer along with their own arrows ready to go if needs be.

1991 Golden Eagle Formula 3-D (hunting bow used from 91 till 96)
1997Martin Fury (hunting bow used from 1997 till 2004)
2004 Mathews Conquest 3 (Paper punching blueberrytarget bow only)
2005 Mathews Switchback (main hunting bow)
2006 Mathews Switchback XT (it is and will be aback up hunting bow to the 05 Swithcback)

If I get a chance to head back east and hunt whitetails I want to use and make more memories with one of my older bows. I of course will take a current bow as well, but the idea of shooting a whitetail buck with the Golden Eagle just makes me smile for some reason. In its day it was a smooth shooter, and at 80 pounds it can still fling a heavyarrow plenty fast. Same can be said about the Martin Fury, its still a speed deamon by todays standards. If I draw out on Moose here in my home state of Idaho I will use it along with a very heavy arrow. This combo has worked awesome for me and heavy arrows(600 grains)moving fast (250-260 f/s)blow through a elk like swiss cheese. I don't think a moose will be much different.
