Every year, the bow companies will make you think that the bow they're touting this year is the best thing since sliced bread. It's always some "dramatic improvement" from anything they produced in the past and you must have it!

I don't have to have the latest bow and all the newest stuff to be quite successful every year. The Lord has blessed me with plenty of deer every year and I will use my bows until there's a need to change. My wife doesn't have any problems with me buying a new bow because it's a long time between purchases! Before I bought my Lazertec in '03, my Golden Eagle bow had lasted 13 years and served me well. I did improve greatly when I bought the new bow because it fit me better and they truly had made great strides in the interim. As long as my current bow continues to shoot great, I'll stick with it. By the time I'm done with it, the newest improvements will probably merit a new bow.
