RE: Ever had a bow.....
A 2002 Hoyt Ultratec.I have lost the bug to buy bows every couple of years because of the beating you take when you sell them.My Ultratec is all I could ever ask for in a bow,and I am very comfortable and confidant with it.
I have a beautiful Remington 700 mountain rifle that I have owned for four years and have never hunted with it.It is the most expensive rifle I own and has lots of gunsmithing in it,yet my rifle of nine years is a Browning A-bolt,still a nice rifle but the most important element is that I know it so well and am so comfortable with it and for me that translates in to enjoyment and success.
There is no right or wrong of course but I personally like to have my weapon be something I know extremely well from a competency point of view and a sentimental point of view.
