To be fair, I used to get one or two new bows per year back in the mid-'90s. I was a staff shooter for a major bow company back then and bows were making progress by leaps and bounds. Then there became kind of a lull where the mfg.'s were hell bent on sacrificing smoothness and reliability for speed. I'm glad I kept two of my favorite boes for hunting. I just haven't found anything that I like better than what I presently have.

Are you implying my Hoyt is a Timex and yours is a Rolex? Accesories are simple to buy. I can get a $200 sight, top of the line rest, best strings, and a good tuning job and still split your arrows in half. I understand that some of us have the cash to spend, but I also read of guys not getting their wives a bow, or a diamond, or their kid a bow. I believe that, as I said in my post...even if I did have the extra $1500 I would. Only if I could justify purchasing a new bow that does things that my bow doesnt.

If it shoots good grouping, fits your hand, kills deer, etc., I would only be buying a new bow to make my hunting better, easier, and faster fps. Mine does what it needs to...knock on wood!

I do envy those who just "can", but if that was my reasoning I would spend the money fo a trophy hunt using the bow that I know.

As I have said in all of my posts, I signed the waiver of its JMHO. No offense to others, just trying to make sense of someone claiming they have two or three or four bows. These people obviously have sponsors, or work for an archery dealer, or have friends to give them the wholesale cost.

I'm implying nothing of the sort.

I'm saying that what one man chooses to spend his hard earned money on is of NO business to anyone but that man, his family and his conscience.

If he can afford to buy (__________) and wants it.....it's sorta (understatement) nobody else's business.

"MY Timex got me here on time JUST like your Rolex". Good for you.;)

Greg you need to shoot the General you get all the smoothness you need! Trust me!!:D

I wasn't talking about your 3 year old Hoyt. I was talking about my 2 year old Pearson. I love my bow, but I like the draw cycle on the 101st Airborne better. My hybrid cam Pearson feels a little "spongy" at full draw. I like the crisp draw and solid back wall of the newer Bowtechs. That's why I WANT one. But my money situation dictates that I'll have to wait another year or two. I'm still shooting a great bow - I just know there's a bow out there that I would like even better than the one I have. That's all I'm sayin'.;)

I dont want the wife to run out of things to complain about. Got to keep her on her toes ;)Plus if I dont use up the play money she will on shoes,clothes, or meaningless weekend getaways for us with her friends that I dont really like anyway. Never killed any deer with a shoe, So i buy a new bow and new set-up. :D

Ive shot two different bows over the past 12 seasons and my Outback will still see a few more years.

I had to buy a new bow last year because someone apparently liked my old bow better than I did and stole it. I uess I could have used one of my other 6 bows but oh well I wanted a new bow.The same question could be ask about guns too. Why buy more than 1 gun?? I say why not???
