I started with a mid 70's Ameican Archery cheetah. I still have that bow.

A Ben Pearson 45# recurve that I bought at a going out of business sale in Baltimore in 1964> Never took a deer with it but did get several squirrels and rabbits. First kill on a deer was with one of the first Dartons I'm thinking it was a SL 1000 not sure now.

Bear Whitetail Hunter. Absolutely HAD to have one. Got it for Xmas when I was 12, I think.....Never killed anything with it, but I still have it. I would love to whack a doe with it though.

That's really cool ahunter55!

You'd laugh it you saw my first bow. I don't have a picture of it, but I still have it. It's a 36" fiberglass longbow which probably pulls about 5#'s or so.

Mine was a PSE Nova, kept it for about 5 seasons. Still have it and may change it over to a bowfishing rig for taking out some of the carp in my Marina.
