1984 Bear Whitetail Hunter......some generic aluminum arrows, BEar razorheads and good ol fingers. I didn't even use sights for the first 3 or 4 years I shot that bow.
And man did I ever shoot it! Day and night, and thank you Mom for going over Dad's head and just buying it for me.
(Dad is not a hunter)

Mine was a Martin Lynx 23 years ago.

My first bow was a PSE Mach 7. It still amazes me that in just a short time, the advancements that have been made with today's bows. My old Mach 7 put the "arch" into archery! Now, I shoot a Hoyt Vulcan and sometimes, I still can't believe the difference. I know a lot of you guys have been in the game a lot longer than I have but in my time of bowhunting, I have experienced a significant difference. I hope all bow manufacturers continue to strive for perfection and improve the way we hunt.

Good Luck to all,

Rob

Next however in 1988, I got a fine browning excellerator Plus. I loved that bow.

A Browning Tornado, only took a wild hog with it on Guam before selling it off. Though I did have it for many years, I took severalyears off before the bug bite me again.

'04 Hoyt ViperTec, bought in January. Now I already have a brand new Pearson Z-32, but will never get rid of the Hoyt!!!

My first hunting rig other than youth bow was a Diamond Triumph never killed an animal with it. shot it for 6 months and bought a Marquis! That was a nice little bow!
