My first bow was a yellow fiberglass recurve out of the JC Penny catalog, that I promptly got taken away many times in my youth. Then I started shooting a Bear recurve that belonged to my father, broke a limb on that and bought a Bear Magnum Hunter. Kept that through college and got a Golden Eagle pro Revolution and am now shooting a BowTech BK II. Good post Q2MD, trips down memory lane are great.
