Stroll Down Memory Lane:
What make of bow did you kill your first deer with? or What was your favorite hunting bow (pre single cam revolution.
Every year I think back on all the bows that I have owned and one keeps sticking out in my mind. It was a HoytPro Force Cam in the tan camo. It was smooth by standards of the day and deadly accurate. I sold it to keep up with the jones's. I took my first doe with it and hindsight being what it is I wish I would have saved that one bow.

My first bow kill was with a Bear Polar LTD. I was shooting instinctively with fingers in the mid '70s, it was a small doe in Bradford Co. Pa. I remember like it was yesterday.

RE: Stroll Down Memory Lane:
Going way back now, 1st bow- BEAR Whitetail ll,Easton aluminum arrows, razorback broadheadswas so disgusted with it I threw it rightin the swamp.Next was a BROWNING XCaliber ll(wooden) Beeman arrows, anderson broadheads. I killed plenty of deer with it, but lost plenty too. The wooden Browningversion was far too noisy. The anderson broadheads did major damage to deer, but do to their size, they flew aweful.
