Jimbo I have to aggree with everyone here. First off that bow is a top of the line bow for its time. Take it and get it tuned, new strings ect. and as long as there is no major problems with the bow, it will be fine to hunt for a few years. The bow I have used the last 4 seasons was a 1985 model Martin firecat. Topp of the line in 1985. I just haad to have it tuned at the proshop once a year, but it still shot great and it is now my back up bow.
