Bear Whitetail II with aluminum Easton arrows and some very crappy broadheads. Never did shoot a deer with that thing probably a good thing cause it would've bounced off more than likely.LOL Still have it somewhere around the farm. Use a Merlin Storm now and love it.

Alpine Sierra Magnum #70, bought it used with my own money at about 15. Didn't know anything
about archery, just did stupid kid stuff with it and shot squirrels and a pile of nutria. When young, I
used it bare finger with a prong rest and some of the fat shaft aluminum arrows.
Last year I dusted it off, upgraded the accessories, and tried to use it for my first year of bowhunting,
but it was hard to draw, slow, and very loud. It is accurate though. I had to hold draw for a long time
on a wary doe and I missed.

A PSE Spirit when I was about 11. Not sure about anything else exept that I was showing it to a friend one time while I was in the house and was pulling it back with an arrow nocked and hit the trigger of my release and shot a lamp. I also shot a cat that was sitting on top of my target one day. While the preacher was watching from out the front door of the church across the street. He still gives me crap about that.

I started with a no name recurve but my first compound was a Bear Blacktail Hunter. Teardrop steel cables and plastic wheels.

High Country Safari 70#. Think I was shooting arrows slightly lighter than steel fence posts with this thing.
