How old is your bow?
 

Sort of two part question: 1) how old is your current rig and 2) do you think there is some specific amount of time (or arrows shot)beyond which a bow needs to be replaced?

I have had my Mathews Ultra II for five or six years now and I still think that it is an awesome bow. I just don't see the need or wantto replace it because it shoots so accurately, smoothly, it is stillfastfor today's bowsand maybe most importantly it has been pretty lucky;)Anyway, just curious what some of the rest of you thought and if I was the only one on here shooting an "old" bow.

I hate to admit that my bow is almost 20yrs old. A friend of mine used it 3d shoots and then I bouight it when he was upgrading. I guess that answers both...... some upgrade and some like the old reliable. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Right now, I have an 05' Mathews Apex, 06' Apex 7, 06' Switchback XT, and an 06' Liberty bow. I wouldn't hesitate to keep a bow around for a long time though, I think my Apex will probably be around for quite some time from now. The rest change fairly frequently though. I have owned7 different bows this year alone....not because of necessity but because I like to tinker with stuff.
