Your First Bow???
Just wondering what was your first bow or bows when you started hunting (recurve or compound).I started shooting when I was seven and had a little Fiberglass bow and my Grandfather made me arrows on his table saw(boy was he busy)and then I went to a Ben Pearson recurve.
My first compound was a Bear Whitetail Hunter.If you think back to your original bows we have shot and what we shoot now the industry has changed alot.

RE: Your First Bow???
Boy you aren't kidding! I started out with an Indian recurve.My first compound was a Fred Bear Black Bear.Must have been at least 20 years ago on that one. I remember when 240 fps with an overdraw and straws for arrows was "fast"!
If I ain't huntin',I'm trappin',If I ain't trappin',I'm fishin'
If I ain't fishin',I'm wishin'!

RE: Your First Bow???
First bow I shot was my fathers Bear recurve from early 60's. I think it was taller than me at the time. First bow I owned was in the early 80's. It was a darton 40b, shot fingers and no sights. Believe it or not I still pull those two out once in a while, and they still work great. I now shoot a hoyt with all the bells and whistles. its nice sometimes to pull the oldtimers out and feel that string in my hand again.

Well PAowhunter I am in the same group as you and Q2MD, bear whitetail hunter but I sold it to get another bow I wish I still had that bow. My mom bought it for me and she passed away a few years ago now it makes me sad that I sold it.
