Pass them along to someone who needs it more than me.

I usually only keep one bow at a time so I will sell my old bow before I buy a new one. I have also never bought a new bow. I guess I'm taking a rsk on the warranty but when you can buy a 06 for $200 less it's hard to pass up.

Since I just bought a new bow Ihanded down my 10 year old PSE last week to my 16 year old nephew. It will be his 2nd year of bow hunting. He shot 2 deer last year with some pretty inferior equipment.For him the PSE is a major upgrade. I sold my very 1st bow at a yard sale.

Bingo. But then again, I didn't have to pay for the last couple I had.

I handed my old PSE Nova down to my father to take up Archery. My rule that came with the bow was: once you find that you like hunting, you will buy your own bow and give the PSE Nova to a kid who's parents can't afford to buy him a bow.

And that's exactly what happened.

Sell 'em while they are only a year or two old, that way they are still worth something.

I have 4 bows right now. My first bow, the bow I took my first deer with, the bow I took my biggest buck with, and my current bow.

I usually sell my old bow and put the money toward the new one, but some I keep. I'm a lefty so if I could find someone looking to get into hunting that is a southpaw that I could work with on shooting I'd probably pass the newest onto them.
