Default Do any of you have a older bow that you can't part with?

How many of you have a older bow that you spent a lot of time with and created a lot of memories and just can't seem to part with?

I do Ican never get rid of my 1991 Golden Eagle Formula 3-D. I killed my first bullelk with that bow as well as several other elk and afew deer. It still hangs on my wall, and a flood of memories come back to mewhen I shoot it, which seems about once a year at most.I admit itsa heavy heavy bow,withsome very noticeablehand shock and its slower than my grandma compared to todays bows.I have tried to sell it and have hadoffers for it but I have never been able to let it go. Its fully set up with a dozenarrows all its own, yet I don't use it for hunting anymore, not even as a backup. Not thatit couldn't be used again. Its in goodshape overall andif I had to I know I could use it tokill a elk again.But its seems better haning on my wall as decoration and memorabilla.I know its just another bow, andbut dang its special, almost priceless to me. Many years from now I hope to be able to show it to my grandkids and say my first archery bull elk was taken with that bow!
