I've had a handful of bows, now that I think of it...I started out with a Bear Whitetail II, then had another Bear Blacktail (I think, can't remember for sure on this one), traded it off for an OLD Pearson that I NEVER did figure out how to shoot, then traded it on a Browning X-Cellerator Plus, moved on to a Reflex Bighorn Hunter around the "turn of the millenium," then a my Reflex Highlander followed in spring 2006, after that I bought my Trykon XL this past fall, and then lurking on classifieds, I ended up picking up an old Hoyt Stryker as a bow I intend on teaching my cousin how to shoot. But it may end up being a "spot's" bow if I ever find time to shoot someplace other than my backyard.

I still have 3 OLDER recurves, one I believe is a "Mustang" but not sure who made it, one is a no-name 40# recurve, again maker unknown, the last is a Montgomery-Ward recurve that draws 55# at 28", and it is a pretty decent shooter.
