Who hunts with the oldest bow?
 
It would seem most of you buy a new bow every year or so. Just wondering does anybody hunt with an older bow?
Mine is a 12 year old PSE. I have had no problems with this bow.
How old is yours?

One of my favorite bows to hunt with is my grandfather's Root Game-Master recurve, made in 1961.

That'd put it at 41 years old.

I hunt occassionally with a Bear Super 48 Magnum recurve made in 1968.It's 57#@28" and it's a pretty good shooter.

I used a ten year old darton mustang for a few years. Got several deer with it, but it "gave up the ghost" last year. I have hunted a time or two with an old 45# indian scout longbow. It's pretty old.

I shoot a 1965 Bear recurve but only at targets. My 1983-84 Browning Explorer just split a limb this year.

It WAS my winter bow for shooting with gloved fingers. It has 4 wheels and 40% letoff. I've tried shooting 50# recurves with gloved fingers but they darn near throw gloves at the deer.

If anyone knows where I can get a limb ........
