I could hunt with that bow forever and be very happy.......but that is not the point. I like new stuff and would be willing to take a hit to upgrade to the newest bows out there. My truck is a beautiful GMC from 2003 also but I am not gonna drive that forever either. I will trade it in on a newer model within 5 years.
With bows today you can't do that. If I took $450 for my bow I would be taking a $550 loss and then starting from scratch. A new rig with good stuff on it will run about $1,200 easy..........so I am looking at a $1,750 black hole over 3 years........that is about $600 a year loss to keep upgrading to the newest bows.
That is nuts.............just not a wise investment.
Hey, that bow's depreciation ain't no worse than the truck's depreciation.
Do like us old guys do....keep the truck and the bow both for at least 10 years! You'll have more money to retire on later! Seriously, I hunted with a new Parker this year.....but I used an antique PSE for years and it did the job.
