older bows
 

just wondering if anyone on here shot older bows. right now im shooting a xi legacy I think its close to 10 maybe 11 years old and I love it heavy as hell but shoots awsome. when I hold these new bows they feel like kids toys after packing my bow around. but I dont think ill be getting rid of it anytime soon. actually I killed a doe at 46 yards this year with it. sorry for the long story but I was wondering if anyone else on here shot the older bows

I still have my Bear White Tail II. bought it new and killed so many deer w/ it decided not to get rid of it. besides if my others get stolen. they wouldnt steal this one. LOL !!!! I could go hunting on the go.

I have a year or 2 old Browning Backdraft not sure what year it is a friend of mine gave it to me. This thing shoots smooth and on target. Haven't had a chance to get in the woods with it yet.

My current bow is a Proline Mountain Bow that I bought back in 1996.I've had several bows over the years, but I really liked the feel of this bow.I've taken lots of deer with it. I've shot these newer bows and they sure are smooth shooting compared to my bow. Maybe some day I'll get me something new.

Two of my current favorite bows are Wing recurves made in the mid-60's. I think they qualify as older bows. ;)

Hello all, i'm new to these forums but had to respond. I just killed a 9 point with a Bear polar, probably 15 years old. Yes they are noisy but they have killed a lot of dear. I think the bow market has some people brainwashed into thinking they have to have a new bow every couple of years. I just bought a Bear realtree extreme, it's not new but way newer than the old polar. Look forward to talking to you all. Mike

I'm with djkiller - Bear Whitetail Hunter II. I think it's 1984? I shoot instinct and fingers and it works great. 2217's fly nice and straight.
