RE: Anybody but me still shoot an old bow?
 

I have some older bows circa 80s and 90s though I don't shoot them much anymore nor do I hunt with them. If it is any consolation I did hunt with an original bear whitetail up until the mid 90s. ;)

my very first compound was a browning laminated all wood compound that was made sometime in the seventies. I never did actually hunt with it, but I did kill alot of carp with it. still have it. bought it at my local gun/archery shop for a whopping $40. I still have, but do not shoot my 94 xi legend magnum. I am thinking of giving it to my sisters boyfriend. he likes the idea of archery and did like shooting it. I am up for a new bow next year. I'd just like something faster. My hoyt mt sport does do the job and friggin well I think.

I've got a Wing Presentation II recurve that I shoot a lot. It was made sometime around 1965-66 and shoots just as good as a lot of today's 'custom' bows. I sold my '57 vintage Bear recurve. Wish I hadn't done that.

if it not broke, why fix it... a new bow dosent make a bowhunter. if it still shoots good there is no need for change.

Well, I still shoot a 65 Bear Kodiak Mag Recurve, does that count? Istill have my Dad's original receipt for it, a whole $18! I'm also looking at '53 Bear Longbow.

Ialso have but don't really shoot much a Bear Kodiak Compound from '78.

I used to use a Bear Black Bear, Then I got a PSE Thunder Flite, and then a Hoyt Super Slam.. Now I have a Diamond. I recently pulled the old bows out and shot them. They still all shot well. I was running out of space so I put them on Ebay.

Still have my old bear 76'er take down recurve.

My dot (indoor)bow is an old High Country Supreme. It is from the mid to late 90's. I usualy shoot a hunting bow a few years and see something I think I just NEED to have. LOL! My Hoyt Supertec will probally be for sale about spring because I just bought a new ??? and love it now!
