RE: Do any of you have a older bow that you can't part with?
I've got a couple I can't part with.
One is my very first bow...A little green/white fibergalss recurve that a cousin gave me when I was a little kid and little did we know at the time, he got me addicted to archery with it. Along with the bow he gave me a box full of wooden arrows that had a price sticker of .05¢ on them...
The other is a 1992ish Martin Ted Nugent Ultimate Beast that Ted autographed for me back in 1994 or so...

I have two as well. The first is a Bear Whitetail Hunter that was my first bow ever. The other is my Golden Eagle Pro Turbo which is the first bow I ever took a deer with. The string on it is so old I'm afraid to shoot it, but it is a beautiful looking bow with the recurved limbs. I have no intentions of ever getting rid of it.

My wife will keep her first Hoyt forever. She just bought a BowTech General yesterday.
I have never built a bond strong enough, that I would not sell a bow. I have with a couple of rifles, that I will never sell.

Nope, I had it till last year but after a couple seasons of bowfishing one limb gave way. I still have the first one I took a deer with though, my younger brother is using it, and he took his first with it too.

I still have my first, will probably end up hanging it on the wall in the basement. Shot my first buck with it so it would be hard to part with.
