I started out with a Jennings Whitetail 2. Is was as slow as molassis but I killed quite a few deer with it. On a long shot though the does would start fileing their hoofs waiting to duck the arrow.

I just sold a Fred Bear vapor 300. I killed many deer with it and loved the bow, but I had to sell it in order to buy my Outback before last season. I don't regret it one bit. The Fred Bear was a fine bow.

I won't get rid of mydatedClearwater Mag...fits me great and still shoots nice, I used it this year in late season on a whitetailbuck. Felt good to get the hunting cob-webs off of it. I do shoot it every year and still enjoy shooting it for practice. I bet I couldn't get 150.00 out of the bow..its worth wellmore than that as a back-up for hunting situations.

old bow below....
