Who shoots an 'old' bow still?
 

I just had to ask. I see all these threads and other posts about someone who has an '07 and just got an'08, or '09.

Who still has an older bow? Am I the only one? I bought my hunting bow in 1994. It's a Darton Lightening. It was the fastest bow out for that year, shooting an arrow a blazing 235 fps. I just put a new string on it and it's still dropping them in there out to 30-yards. As much as I want me a new Diamond, I don't feel I need it.I have a PSE Mach 8 that's about 12 years old, and it feels like a new bow compared to the Darton. I guess I just want to know does everyone buy a new bow every couple years?

I have an 01 and I feel like Im in the Stone Age. I LOVE IT...but I would NEVER get rid of it in the event, which is as likely as seeing a purple deer, Santa Clause gets me a new Hoyt.

I have a Jennings Buckmaster, I feel outdated, but still chucks arrows downrange flat and accurately. Cant complain. Had it forabout 10 years if I remember correctly. I have thought about what Im going to do when I will have to get a new bow, scarey with todays price tag on bows. [:o]

My 3-D rig is still an old 1996 Hoyt Defiant. I had it blazing them out at an unheard of 320 fps back then and it's still holding it's own against anything to date.

My back-up hunting rig is a 2000 Hoyt UltraTec which is currently my primary until my new DXT gets here later this week.
