I still have some of the alum arrows from my 78 Jennings, I also have some of my old cedar arrows from the mid 60's. Broke the Jennings trying to shoot it from my knees like my short recurve. First love is the recurves. Filled the freezer with many a deer and I think I enjoyed shooting them the most. Was forced to buy a used Mathews SWXT a couple of years ago when arthritus made my fingers unreliable. Now I will say I enjoy that bow the most when I'm shooting from 40 to 80 yards and can watch the arrows fly again. The accuracy of that thing amazes me. And, for hunting, it is awsome, but if you ever had a first love, you'll know what I mean. There is just a thrill being able to see your arrow appear in the exact spot you are aiming at. It just happens too fast with a compound up close for me to feel much other than appreciate a good shot. And talk about not having to buy much, shoot trad.

There's alot of archery out there to be enjoyed. And a lot of good people to enjoy it with.
