Id keep it. Considering the beating you'll probably take, You never know when a family member or close friend might need it. Thats how i got my first bow, and after years of gun hunting and gun collecting, i wasnt sure if bowhunting would be the thing for me. Well, no one bothered to tell me that bowhunting was ADDICTIVE!!! half the time i dont even use a gun anymore, and it all began cause my brother-in-la gave me his old (2 yr old) bow.
