RE: Your equipment era?
My first bow was a Bear Whitetail Hunter when I was 12. The bow was taller than I was, and I shot Easton Gamegetter 2018's off of it. I was only pulling maybe 40 pounds, so they were lollypops down range. I shot fingers, but had the No Glove on my string. Remember those? the rubber deals that slid over your string to protect your fingers...? Yeah, swell.
