I spend most of my hobby related income on archery stuff. I went from an ultratec to a general when they first came out. Then I traded my general for my 101st. Trading the bows doesnt really hurt you that bad once you have a certain amount of buying power. Even selling the ultratec which was an 05 i believe, i sold it loaded with hoyt accessories and still got 450 bucks for it so when buying the general i only had to fork out around 200 or so to get that bow. Today I actually sold my 101st to a guy bare bow, for 550 b/c i will be shooting Hoyts for a shop for 09 so once again, im not losing much and it makes me happy. I dont trade or buyjust to say its cool or whatev like some fanboys around here do[:'(]I shoot ALOT and this is what i do. I shoot and practice all year long religiously b/c it is self satisfying to me, and i thoroughly enjoy the sport. I shoot competitively as welland I cant get away from it.

Myaccessories I stick with. I dont think i will ever sell my extreme sight. Its perfect for hunting and does its job every single time without a single issue ever! Iwill shoot Limb Drivers until I find something that i really think is better!jmo. Ihadan LD before i wason VT's staff so that isnt why i shoot them. I love easton axis arrows for hunting, and i love my victory arrows for targets. Also, my little bitty goose release is another thing i plan on holding on too forever. It feels great and performs the way i want it to.

All of the target stuff is well... rather expensive, but once you buy most of it, you wont need to buy anymore after that, which is why i went ahead and purchased the sure-loc setup with a viper scope.

I know for most people, buying tons of archery stuff would be pointless b/c all they do is hunt and thats cool. If your bow is just a weapon, than i as well dont see the point in trading and swapping all of the time but if thats you thing, than have at it. As many say, the deer doesnt care what kind of equipment you have, or how fast the arrow was going when it went through it, so whatever works, will continue to work forever.
