i usually will try to get one, if the new technology is much better than the one i have now. i plan on buying this year. but what ever hunting bow i use, gets up todate stuff on it every year, if needed. last year i bought a qad rest, new lite quiver, and extreme sight. the year before i replaced the strings. i will prob.. keep my current bow forever, but i will hunt with a new one this season. i love bows. i enjoy them much more than my rifles.
