I missed the 70's by a little bit, but not much, I got in in the early 80's. First bow was a Martin Bobcat, with 2018's and satelite broadheads. Dad had a Browning that looked like a cross between a recurve and a compound. Brass sight pins with paint on them, shooting a glove with no peep. Didn't know anyone else that used a bow besides us. We hunted turkey with them for a couple of years but never got one. There really weren't any deer to speak of then.

Got out of the bowhunting for quite a while, was briefly back into it late 90's, and started the current serious foray into it around 2005. Had that same bow, just upgraded sights, rest and release untill '05 when I sprang for the Bowtech I have now.
