How many kills do you have with the bow you hunt with now? I have shot 9 deer and 5 bear with my recurve I'm hunting with now.

Do you retire your bow after a certain number of kills with it? Heck no! I'd use my recurve as long as I could If I liked It, which I do. This might be It's last year though, loosing draw weight. I've been hunting with It for 14 years this fall.
