Well I have been into this for just over a year and 4 bows later its coming around to my turn![8D] I bought my bow first, a Bear Montana last Jan(08), then over the summer I picked up a 65' Kodiak magnum for my son Dominic! In october, I then bought a Whisperstk longbow for myself, a real beauty! Today, I bought the boy a 69' Grizzly for his everyday shooting type bow to get his form and muscles in order, 35# should be perfect! Well I guess it's my turn again..... I don't know which is more fun, buying one for me or surprising him with a new one!
