I don't buy much once I geta bow I like, I have a feeling I will be shooting my 04 Bowtech Liberty and Fox Archery Breed Recurve for a long time. I guess I am atight-wad when it comes to spending money on bows, I just don't see the need if what I have works great and I shoot it well. Even if I wasnt living on a school teachers salary and making millions I doubt I would spend the extra $ on bows. I like to get real comfortable with a bow and keep it. Normal maintenance and string replacement is about it.
