Your equipment era?

RE: Your equipment era?
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.Since then I've had several bows and have been shooting the Mathews since 2003. Its old and outdated by todays standards LOL.

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.

Mobow -those NoGlove thingies: I just put a set on my new recurve b/c I used them back in the day on my old recurve and Whitetail bow. Believe it or not - they still sell them at Cabelas.

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.

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.
