So what’s the longest run for a piece (or style) of gear?

Bow-8 years

Rest style- 17 years (prong style)

Sight-16 years (pendulum sight, 14 of those were a keller)

Broadhead-14 years & counting (thunderhead 125’s)

Treestand-10th season using my ol’ man climber

Release- 8 years with the release before the one I currently use.

The license holder I use on my jacket was my Great Uncle's who taught my father how to hunt back in the 1950's. I'd say it has a good 60 years on it now. I also carry a waterproof match case in my bag that was his from a looooong time ago. I carry both of them every hunt.

Other than these, I don't think anything I actually useis more than 5 years old. I've got piles of stuff though from the last 17 years I've been hunting that don't get used anymore. Just the other day when digging through my hunting junk drawer to pack my backpack with deer hunting stuff (was still full of turkey hunting gear), I found an elk hair finger tab, a game tracker (remember those? [8D]), and a half used pack of the original NAP Razorback 5's.

The oldest thing I have is my knife. Buck 110 that I bought when I was 12 and started hunting, I'm 27 now and it has cleaned many a deer for me!

Bow- Same recurve for 14 years and going.
Broad heads- Been shooting 125 grain 3 blade Snuffers for 17 years and going.
Camo- Same camo for 17 years and going.
Arrows- Same style of arrows for 14 years (2216 XX75's) and going.
Compass- my old compass just went to junk on me, It lasted 23 years.

I have had the same scott release since 98, still going strong, some of my fixed stands date back to the early 90's have had to do a little welding on a couple but nothing major.. My back up bow is my 80's model Clearwater Mag still shoots great.. have some shafts around from the late 80s.. 2216s and dads Allen compound from the 70's

I have a compass that was my dad's. I would guess it is 30+ years old.

I have been using thesame releasefor at least 14 years now.

That was my dad's 1st compound. I still have It here at my place In the basement.

Only A waterproof match?? what if the wind kicks up?? lol I carry like 40 waterproofs in a waterproof container in my waterproof jacket with cotton balls stuffed down in the tube to boot....
