How often do you upgrade to a new bow??

RE: How Often do you??
 

Well.....the numbers are high.....but skewed for one reason. I've only been shooting bows for a short time. I'm learning what I like.....but I've gone through a few to get where I am.

Never shot a bow until fall of 2005. Bought a Mathews. Loved the bow. Loved the Bowtech, more. Picked up speed and gave up nothing in the switch from one bowtech to the one I currently own.

So....every year, so far. I've got a pretty good thing going with my shop, though.....and he makes it very palatable for me to be able to do this.

I'll get my entry in early. So I don't have to check back and see all these guys with new bows every year. (Some MORE than 1 new bow a year) [&o]



I'm Shooting an 05 model. Planned on a new one this year but decided to wait.

There is nothing wrong with my bow and I like it alot. But new toys are way~cool!

well, the trend for me has been a new bow about every3-4 seasons. Mathews totin' the whole way!

hmmmm

looking at getting my 4th bow since 1983.......so every 6 years or so I get a new one?

i usually will try to get one, if the new technology is much better than the one i have now. i plan on buying this year. but what ever hunting bow i use, gets up todate stuff on it every year, if needed. last year i bought a qad rest, new lite quiver, and extreme sight. the year before i replaced the strings. i will prob.. keep my current bow forever, but i will hunt with a new one this season:D. i love bows. i enjoy them much more than my rifles.

I have been bowhunting since 1989 and I have had one hand me down, and I have purchased 2 since, so that is about one every 6 years. I have had my most recent bow since 2000, so I am well overdue to buy a new one.

Think my wife will buy that logic???:D

I've had the same recurve for 13 years, looking at getting a different one in the future maybe.

RE: How Often do you??
 

I have always upgraded almost every year. I like keeping the lastest technology in my hands and at the same time I get more out of my previous year bow than I would waiting 3 or 4 years. I've done that for most of the 40 years I've been in Archery. I guess that's one reason I've owned about 60 bows;)

I usually update every other year but now that my son is getting strong enough for a compound that will probably extend out a little bit.
