RE: how long do you keep a bow?
I got a Magnatec '02 model last year and I have no reason whatsoever to get rid of it. It shoots and performs flawlessly and I've outdone a few of my buddies with $800+ in their rigs. But next year I'll probably bite the bullet and get a new Vectrix or whatever new fancier contraption Hoyt has. But I'll be keeping my Magnatec as the backup rig.
