I usually buy a new bow every 2 years, not because I ever need a new bow every 2 years but like PABowhntr I just love new toys. Currently I have a Martin Jaguar Mag, its an OK bow. I purchased because I wanted to see if there would be a big difference from a very high end bow to a moderatly priced one. With that said I think I' m going to get one of the new 04 Bowtech models for next season......you do the math.
