We don't trade in our wives every couple of years for the newer model. Although we might want to..
LOL.
Lucky for me my wife doesn't trade in her husband.
I know what you mean about the bow but I look at it this way. I shoot my deer rifle 3 maybe 4 shots to confirm it is on. To do this I have to drive to the range. Then I shoot one shot at a deer and put it away until next year. Gun and scope cost me about $700. My bow have have been shooting about 4 times a week about 40 shots a session since I bought it in May. Lately more then that. For the money I get way more from the bow then I ever will from my gun. I don't like paying high prices anymore then the next guy but I think you get more for your money with a bow. JMO.
