I took a different approach, this year. Yep...I've been caught up in the "newer is better" hoopla.....(and I still appreciate quality). I decided to figure out how much I "might" spend, annually, on bows. I then made a one-time investment....and bought the bow of my dreams.
I don't see me spending more that $30/yr (strings) on my archery tackle from now on. I see me shooting this bow until I can no longer shoot one.
