RE: OLD BOWS
 

ORIGINAL: BGfisher

I'd have to say my 1977 Jennings Arrowstar. It was definitely my best shooter, but then maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was 30 years younger and had better muscle tone and eyes. Shot a lot of field archery and indoor target with that bow. I'd venture an educated guess and say that it was in my hands about 3 hours a day.
My second bow was an "arrowstar" what a great bow for its time. Jennings were the best that could be had at the time ,and the Arrowstar was the first to shoot over 200fps. My 70lb arrowstar shot at 210 F,P,S. and that was smoking fast with 2217 and 125 gr FP's.
Igave that bow to a friend and the first year he shot a big doe with it and then went on to buy a Mathews,[:o]I then gave it to another friends son and he shot a nice seven point.
What a great bow.:)

I would like to have my first target bow back, a Bear HC 300, I remember I got my triplicate and 290's patch with it the same night shooting 3x97's in a row, but then most of you dont have a clue whatI am talking about.
When I got out of the service the first time in the late 70's I went to several pro shops to buy a new bow, none of them even carried a new recurve then andended up getting anArrowstar as my first compound, I wouldn't mind having one just to hang on the wall, it was a great bow.
The one I could kick myself in the butt for not picking up was a limited edition Super Kodiak T/D, seen one go for 25 times what it cost, and it cost 1,000.00 new.
Another one that I would like to have just for the wall was also a Super Kodiak done in Ebony, Bear only made them a year or 2, and they were a real work of Art.
