Making room in the stables for the new horse
#22
I got a new bow last month, but I don't know if I can part with my old bow (Proline Force II). I have had it for about twenty years. Don't even know if someone would want it, but she sure still shoots well.

I think thats half the reason I didn't try very hard to sell my Allegiance.
I love this bow. Its the first bow that I bought everything for it entirely on my own.
I've spent a lot of time with it, though I haven't killed anything with it.
I don't think I'll be letting it go this year.

I bought 2 Shafer Silvertip recurves in the past 3 weeks so I'm letting 2 of my Black Widow recurves go(i'm gonna keep the Widow longbow).They're great shooting and handling bows but I know I won't be shooting them much anymore

This is prob why I will never sell my trykon.

I can feel for you guys passing on your bows. I am selling my current bow and thoughI do not have a deep attachment to it I would have liked to keep it and pass it along to my father so that he can join me bowhunting next year. I take comfort in knowing that the person I am selling it to is very excited to be able to get such a good deal at a price they can afford............and that the tax rebate check in June will be going towards a second bow that I can send to my father to shoot!!

You don't want to keep it for a backup?
Me, I have a hard time getting rid of bows too (some) There are some that I buy (garage sales and such) just to re-sell but usually the bows I have hunted with I've kept. I just got rid of my very first compound bow I ever purchased.
Right now I have three that I use: Mathews Switchback LD, Fred Bear Code and my Browning Rage One (for those of you who remeber I found that one in the garbage and rescued it) Then I have the Bow Tech/Diamond/Tech Hunter with a crack in the limb and Browning Oasis that also has a crack in a limb. Both just hanging in my work shop as I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them quite yet. Finally I have a Browning Blood Brother sitting in a case (great older dual cam) just waiting for someone to dust it off and shoot it...........That one might make it on "BigJ's Late Night Giveaway".
This doesn't count the several long and recurve bows I have hanging around either. It's not like I'm attached to them, I just don't know what to do with some of em.

For deer.....it'll be a toss-up, this year, between my longbow and the 82nd. So.....I have a backup!

Unlike some of you guys who get a new bow every 3 weeks, its maybe more manageable for us guys that dont get new ones so often to keep them.
I have my current deer/elk bow, the bow before that is now my squirrel/woodchuck/coon/whateverelse bow,and the bow before that is now my carp bow. They all carry way to many memories to just get rid of them.
