I shot a Martin Prowler (50% let-off, round wheels) for like 10 years. I got a Matthews Q2 several years ago and I am still shooting that. I changed the cables and tore the Prowler completely down, cleaned it up nice and rebuilt it. I use that as my back up bow and I have it set up to shoot with minimal accessories, I have it tuned and sighted in for finger shooting and still use the aluminums I had for it years ago(new fletchings, nocks, and insertsof course). Although it is extremely behind the times technologically speaking I have complete confidence in that setup out to 30-35 yds, so if something goes wrong during the season with my Q2 I still have something to hunt with other than my recurves, which really limit my range. I have a buddy that usually gets a new bow every season (and newsights,release,etc,etc,etc) healways has the latest and greatest and it works for him, I develop a relationship with my equipment and it is hard for me to just replace them, ecspecially when they work great I can't justify spending the money just to have something new that realistically won't outperform my old stuff by a big enough margin to notice.
