Yah i guess i've learned quite a bit from my experience last night. I made it a goal to take my first deer with my dads old bow, and now i have. So now im lookin at some new ones. When i called my mom to tell her i had shot a deer, she told me that my father never even shot a deer with that bow, so it made me feel good. The bow is well past its prime at about 25 to 30 years old. I have put a new sight, arrow rest and some other stuff on her. She shoots straight, i guess thats all that matters.
