Ive used a jennings unistar bow I bought and used since about 1987

now its obviously an antique by todays standards
keep in mind deer have not gotten tougher or harder to kill, ranges have generally remained similar,
if it worked for the last decade it will work for the next season.
similar to this picture

Amazon Amazon


btw I use 3 4" vanes for fletching
its an 87 lb and 31" draw bow, which I purchased, and have used every year since.
yeah there are newer, and lighter bows , even faster bows,
but I'm comfortable and consistently accurate with it,
it drives a 200 spine carbon arrow,
with a decent three blade broad head plus

broad head completely through an elk,
done that a couple times over the years,
and its also worked on white tail deer.
I've been asked dozens of times why I don't upgrade?
why would I?
this bow and arrow combo is familiar in my hands,
and is accurate and lethal,
yeah I'm a dinosaur, by why spend money to replace a known , trusted functional proven combo??
