I suppose my first real bow (not counting branches with shoe strings tied to the ends) was a red fiberglass Red Bear that I bought for $20.00 new.

From there I had a couple different recurves, but bought a compound the first year I was going hunting (couldn't handle a hunting-weight 'curve). It was a 1984 PE Phaser II. Round wheels, 50% let-off, shot it instinctive. Nice bow.
