Well, for me I believe in the old saying, "who ever dies with the most toys wins". I shot the same PSE lazer Magnum for about 20 years. I retired it to Len's stock of old bow display. I bought a PSE SR1000 and shot it for 7 or 8 years. I gave it to someone online who didn't have the money but wanted to get his dad into bowhunting. The only reason I got rid of the SR1000 was I went into Len's to buy a deer stand. While there he showed me the stand I was interested in and then told me why he WOULDN'T buy it. While thinking that over he put a Darton in my hand to shoot. So I left with no deer stand but a new bow.[&:] I shot that a few years and then had to have a Guardian after test driving it. So, we got to change bows once in a while for many reasons.... usually none of the reasons are valid past... because I want it.
