Cody, here's the thing, for me at least. I shoot all year long. Half of the fun of hunting for me is playing with equipement in the off season. I love getting a new bow every so often and becoming a tuning freak in the off season to get me and the bow shooting at its absolute best. Can I do that with an old bow? Sure. But I really like playing with the new technology from year to year. Keeps me sane when I can't hunt.
