RE: What have you owned?
This is my sixth year hunting.
When I started I bought a new High Country Carbon Four Runner.
Using same bow today and still killing them.
Serviced and new string/harness last year

RE: What have you owned?
Thanks everyone, I just find it interesting all the different personalities within the Archery world. Some change their bows about as often as they change their underwear and others stick to one or two that are tried and true. Sorry if this was a repeat as someone mentioned, I tried to search the archive and could not find it.

That's one of the most clever ideas I've heard yet....Maybe just not the safest....Your FOC was entirely too high....
