My current bow is soon to be my "ex" bow (or backup bow). It is a Proline Point Blank "New Wave" that I bought in 1992, I believe. I bought it at that time because it was the latest and greatest thing to hit my local Pro shop. And it is still hard to beat for speed to this day.

I've been doing a lot of tire kicking lately with most of the new bows out there. That old Proline feels TERRIBLE after shooting any of today's bows!! I'm glad I never shot any other bows until now or that thing would have hit the road a long time ago!! I'm currently leaning heavily toward a new Martin Cougar Magnum with either Nitrous cams or their Dyna Cam single cam. This bow shoots very well, is quiet with no silencers of any kind on it, it's fast, I really like the rubber grip, it's light, and its 36.5" long. I don't care for the super-short bows and this will feel short after my 41.5" Proline! The other factor is price ... the Martin is about $150 less than most of the other bows I've looked at. And it really looks SWEET! And I've already got the hat to match. And ... I could go on and on!
