Joe: Very good point: "But there is one thing that i have tried to do since I made a mistake a few years back. I always keep the bow that is my present #1, and the new one has to be impressive enough to push #1 to #2 or on to another archer. I really like my present bow. It is by far the best I have owned to date."

If you can afford to do it, what you stated is the best approach. I've been shooting the same bow now for 4 years and can't find one that satisfies my needs better. I do, however, keep trying. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
