Default How often do you get a new bow

Just wondering if people keep what they have for a long period, or aftera year or so trade them so you can still get something out of them.

I have kept my past bows for 4 to 5 years. I got a new xTec last year and still love it.

My average is probably one every two years but it varies.

I have been shooting for two years, and bought a bow each year. I will probably keep my Bowtech Allegiance for several years.

One every week or so! Seriously, I bought my first bow off Ebay last week. Didn't like it at all, so I traded it on my Allegiance yesterday, which was really the bow I'd wanted all along. I also put a Hoyt Rintec on layaway for my wife the same day!

This will be my 13th year of bowhunting and my 6th different bow that I've used. I guess I'm on about a 2 year average. However, after the coin I dropped on a new setup this year I have a feeling I'll be sticking with it for awhile.

I've been bowhunting for 6 years and have used the same bow for all 6 years. I'll probably use it another 4 years, as long as it's still in working order.
