Went from a Mid 70 compound shooting fingers to a compound with all the gadgets to recurves and longbows. Now I make my own all wood bows (selfbows)

I started shooting a recurve in "68" I went back a couple of years before I switched to Bowtech, I think it was 2000. I shot and hunted with a custom made recurve and it was fun, but I doubt I will ever go through that phase again;)

First bow was a Jennings Black Bear ( I think??) in 1987. Bought a whitetail 2 in 1991, then a Golden Eagle in 1997. Shot fingers with the first 2, had an overdraw on the Golden Eagle.:DSince then I've had several bows and have been shooting the Mathews since 2003. Its old and outdated by todays standards LOL.

First bow was a PSE Sonic....from there to Bear Grizzly II, Several Hoyt's, several High Country's.. (still have two)...currently Mathews Switchback which I plan to use for many years.

All are compounds...shot fingers with a Fab Tab until 97.....still like shooting with fingers

My 1st hunting bow was a Martin Lynx at age 12, my first bow period was a recurve. Dad had his hands full with me and my brother, we were shooting our little recurves at 3 years old. When I shot compound I shot fingers, never would I shoot a release. I used aluminum arrows then and still do now with my recurve.

My first real bow was a Browning Explorer recurve, but I didn't hunt with it because I didn't feel good enough. The next year after it broke, I bought a new PSE Proficientcy(4 wheeler with brackets) for something like $120 and killed my first deer on October 17, 1977. Could only get one deer permit at the time. I was 23 yrs. old.

I remember the days of only one Deer permit well:DI also remember never seeing another Bowhunter in the woods all season;)

First bow I ever had was a Jennings Forked Lightning, shot fingerswith Aluminum arrows. I hate to admit this, but my target was a paper plate and two hay bails.[&:]I look back at those days now andam really glad I never had a shot at anything. In 1996 I bought a Jennings Machined Extreme XLR (41" axle to axle),used a release, but still shot aluminum arrows. Killed my first deer with this bow, and actually still have it today.

Today I shoot a Bowtech Allegiance and carbon arrows, I'mjust amazed how far technology has come in a short time frame.
