Do you remember your first bow?
 

Ohhhhhh.....it was beautiful. I'd wanted one of these for a very long time. It was my birthday, 3-22-84. I was 12. Dad couldn't wrap it, so he brought me into the den where it was hanging on the wall. My first bow!! I was so excited I couldn't stand it. A Bear Whitetail Hunter. You remember those, don't you. Lotta guys use them for bowfishing rigs now. The poundage was adjustable by moving 2 wheels attached to the riser. I think it was maxed out at 42# and just to show how the times have changed, I was shooting an Easton 2018. Talk about HEAVY!

And now look. I've gone all high tech! But I'll never forget that first one. Coincidentally, that bow is hanging on the same wall as when it was given to me.

How about ya'll? What was your first bow?

Oh yeah! Mine was a used Browning with all other markings worn slap off of it. I'll never forget how I used pull back that 60 # rascal and let that Easton 2018 sail, reach down and get a sip of tea, and then watch that marvelous arrow slice into that 20 yard target. It may not have been fast but it sure was fun.

My 1st bow was some sort of greenish glass limbed longbow. Maybe a 25-30# draw wt. That was before i was old enough or big enough to hunt. Then it went to an oldshakespeare recurve that I used for 1-2 years until at 14 I saved up enough money to buy a PSE Pulsar express.

I remember mine. It was an Indian. Max draw weight was 50lbs. I harvested 12 deer with that bow. Still wish I had it.

First bow was a kind of fiberglass recurve.
My first compound was a Whitetail II,I think it chronoed at 195 FPS
