RE: Do any of you have a older bow that you can't part with?
Yep. A couple, in fact. The first bow I ever owned was a Bear Whitetail Hunter, it hangs on my bedroom wall at my parent's house. I was 12 y/o at the time, and the bow was taller than I .....Never shot anything with it. I keep her around cause she was my first...
I also have a ProLine Riptide. This is one awesome shooting bow. Killed my first archery deer w/ that bow. It's still in service, my dad shoots it. It's loud, but fast. Great shooter.
