My MM VFT is about 9 months old. I guess I would fall into that category you mentioned in regard to buying new bows each year though I do not consider myself one of the "better hunters" on the board. The equipment/technical aspect of the sport trully fascinates me. There is just so much out there to tinker and experiment with. It is almost addicting.
I have one of those new Jennings's bows on order as well though I sincerely doubt it is going to knock the Mighty Mite from the top spot of hunting bows.
