RE: Does anyone else still use and old bow?
I am still shooting my PSE Firestorm Lite ... it is about 8 or 9 years old.
I am not saying that REAL old or anything..... but it's longer than a lot of folks keep their bows.
Set up for hunting, it chronos out about 265 FPS... so it is not " Blazing " but it is fast enough. My next bow was going to be the PSE X-Force SS this year, but I was told to wait for the bow PSE has coming out in a few months.... it is said to be the fastest out.. around 365+ FPS.
I'm gonna wait...

Im shooting a Reflex Express from 98, it is shooting around 290 fps the way it is setup right now. i bought it from the guy who first owned it. He kept it in great condition. Although i am in the market for a new one, im think Alpine.

He doesnt use it, but I know a guy who used to hunt with and has in his garage a "screaming eagle". The thing is strung like a recurve, but has additional cams and strings everywhere. At full draw, it is the meanest looking bow I've ever seen- limbs sticking out at odd angles and cables everywhere!

I use a Mountaineer, I think it's a Ranger...It's about 15 years old, I bought it used so I'm not sure...
I guess I'm at a handicap because I still shoot fingers, so I'm limited if I did want a new bow...I do remember that I paid $150 for it...Guess I've got my money out of it...
