OLD BOWS
I see every once in a while guys talking about a certain bow they sold or wished they still had there favorite bow. If you could pick any bow of days gone by, what would it be and why...Are there any old models that you would still buy today?

RE: OLD BOWS
My three favorite bows of all time were the Hoyt ProVantage w/Carbon Plus limbs, Martin Firecat (late 80's vintage) and the Golden Eagle Hunter. I'd still buy any of those again today, even as dreadfully slow as the GE was. Few bows shot as well as those three did.

These guys wouldn't know a Brack from a brick, so I didn't mention it. [8D] But yeah, I've been mourning that one ever since I let it get away. Can't get a new replacement because Jim made mine and he's gone to the happy hunting grounds.[&o]

RE: OLD BOWS
I would LOVE to find a High Country Sniper in good shape. Man, that bow the the bomb back in the day. It was a wheel bow, so not very fast, but it would just stack arrows on top of each other. If anyone has one they want to get rid of, shoot me an e-mail.

Sorry to remind you. I still see used ones floating around (made by Jim). I was thinking about putting skins on mine, but then thought against it. I just leave it as is.
