I had one of the first compounds ever built for a youth. It was a prototype built by Pearson Archery. Dick Tone delivered it to my dads house whenhe came for a visit some 25 years ago. I missed my first whitetail with it. A doe came in and let me shoot at her 5 times. I ran out of arrows and had to watch her the rest of the evening feeding less than 15 yards. I was hooked on bowhunting from that point on. The next compound I owned was a Hoyt. I don't remember the model but it was before they were very popular. The bow shot great though and I got my first deer with it. I have shot Hoyt bows ever since.
