your 05 Hoyt is no better than my 08 Ally for hunting. They bow will get the same result if shot placement is good. with that said, my Ally maybe smoother and have less hand shock, lighter etc... that's it.

My new Commander has the right DL for me unlike my Switchback had. Will it make me a better hunter? NO Will it make me a better shot? YEP!

I buy new ones because I can.


Why on EARTH does it matter what OTHER people buy?

I don't buy a new one each year because I cannot justify spending $500 or more on a bow. Call me paranoid but I always think something might happen in my life where I might need that $500 on something more important. That being said, if you can and want to buy a new bow each year, then go for it!

I dont....

I bought a PSE in about 1993 and another PSE in 2001. I am thinking about getting a new bow .... a new X-Force SS in 2008..... but I have not done it yet.

I think I buy or trade for a used one every year. In my case, it is much better to stick with one main bow. But, I just can help myself sometimes. [&:]

I'm still shooting a '97 model. I like it.

BTW, I could buy a new bow every month if I wanted to.

To me it is like "I gotta keep up with the Jones'". No reason to buy a new bow every year. If you are still under the new toy mentality, I say something else in your priority list is probably lacking. Something that could be better. jmho

Why did that guy marry that hot lady?

Don't he know that my wife is a "goodern" and she can cook, too?

Who needs that much woman?

Hell my wife can even hunt! I bet his can't hunt and won't mow, either!

I understand why people do it - it's the American way.

Personally, I'm building a house and money is tight, so I spent my hunting wad on upgrades to my bow - new
arrows, quiver, bh's, stabilizer, rest, etc. That seemed to be a good coping technique to resist the urge
to buy a new rig.
