First of all I want to say welcome to the bowhunting forum huntingirl 89. Don't believe I've seen you in here before.

I'm with you on this one. I myself hunt with an old PSE bow from time to time and have taken 2 P&Y animals with it. I don't know if some of us feel like we have to keep up with the Jones' or what, but I have no problem with someone shooting an older bow. I would put my old PSEup against some of these guys with these new Bowtechs anyday!:D

Sounds to melike you have Bow envy. Why name Bowtech specifically? Personally I have a Bowtech and I am confident in my ability with it. It may not be as new as some but it is an 06. I guess according to you I am Keeping Up With The Jones'. Nice generalization on your part.

How's the handshock on that old bow of yours? Noise?

Whatever....
Easy there bitterroot! I said I shoot an old PSE from time to time. I have another bow that is my main bow and believe it or not it's a bowtech! OH MY!!! I just like to shoot the old bow that I used for my first bow kill. Nothing wrong with that is there??
No nothing wrong with that, but to make a blanket statement about some crappy old bow being a better shooter than the new ones is crazy, oh wait you are just claiming to be a better archer than anyone with a new bow.

You can't even decide which bow to use.
Good Gosh what is your problem??? I like to take an old bow hunting and now I'm the new black sheep of the bowhunting forum. Who knows. Maybe I could mop the deck with you on the course with the old PSE Carrol Intruder. Get a grip man!

I can't believe people even spend money on bows. I made my best bow out of a BBQ fork and a bungee cord.
Granted, it only had a range of about 8 & 1/2 feet, but with my skills, that's all I needed.
And when exactly was the last time you killed something? And you running to Illinois tonight does not count!!:)
Pictures don't lie, buddy.

(And Illinois ain't all that far.) ;)

Remember overdraws. How many people shot those. Raise your hands (mine is) I've spent my fair share on gizmos...I'll let someone else support the industry now. And to behonest...Thats good for our sport.Gaining bow hunterswill keep us able to hunt in the future.
I remember them. I still got the old Mongoose set-up on my old bow. I think it is like a 3 1/2" overdraw. My arrows are only 26 1/2" on this set-up!

I've been saying this for years! I took my biggest buckwith my old bow and haven't come close to it since I switched to the newer ones. Next year, I'm going back to "Old Faithful"




I betcha don't.;)

I really don't think the bow has anything to with it, as long as you have confidence in what your shooting. As long as you know you can put the arrow where it needs to be consistantly, you're good to go.

By the way, I am getting a new bow this year.:D

The best bows aren't just the old ones, they're the ones in the hands of a master bowman.

Congrats on the lion he looks a beast!

This is probably the best thread I think I have ever read on this forum keep it coming girls.

After reading this I am thinking of junking my Bowtech and going to a BBQ fork and bungy cord! :D

I sell bows for a living. And work on them for a living.

So, in the interest of financial self preservation, I feel that old bows suck, and are totally inhumane, unethical and improper to hunt with.

If you hunt with a bow more than 6 months old.... SHAME ON YOU! ;)

Seriously though... one of the smoothest bows I have ever drawn.... old Bear Blacktail Hunter Compound.... holy crap if they could make them that smooth today.... doesn't shoot much over 160fps and sounds like a string bass... but man the draw is smooth.

Equipment is totally personal preference. If you can afford it and want it.. hell buy it... have fun with your money.... leave it with me.... ;)

If you are happy with what you have.... GREAT! Thats awesome... every recurve I have is at least 35 years old... same age as my main squeeze Wingmaster 12ga. They all work as good as I do.

Were you hunting over a bait pile or a food plot when you took this animal? And for a broadhead, I bet you probably used an old Fred Bear Razor head too. That's a good choice in my opinion. They'll out perform all those high dollar expandables every single time.

A burnie custom r-d longbow. In osage and bambo, or even brazilian walnut and bamboo. I hear they are the tops.:D
Burnie...when should I place my order for one of these? Seriously...I really want one this spring after I get some tax money!! If you are interested in making me one that is...
Ive got two going right now and trying to find time to work on them. Ive got an Ipe bamboo, and a Ipe, white oak with rattle snake skin for a backing. Ive got a butt load of furniture to make as well in the next two weeks. Remind me when you are ready, I get real serious with my bow making in the spring and summer.;)
Well buddy...take this as notice. Put my name on your list and when you get to going...shoot me a message so we can work out details!! I don't want to miss out on a burnie special!!
You bet ya. The woods ive got seasoned and ready to go are Brazilian walnut and bamboo. Which makes one of the best bows. All the osage I have was just cut and will take about 8-10 months to cure. Ill P.M. you with some specifications and see what you are looking for.;)

IF I may... I will add that I think it is entirely more possible to take a better buck with an older bow. [8D]
That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard lol!!!!

BTW, Can you shoot a 60x with your old traditional bow? I didnt think so! Dont think anyone else could either.:eek:The new bows may be all but necesarry but... theconsistancyof a compound is unparalelled by any other stick shooter.

What about an elk at say... 55yards. How confident do you feel taking that shot with the 180fps bow. Sure I could shoot a deerjust fine with a bow made back in 1812 by tonto the indian. I dont want to though.

Either way, if you can put em down, you can put em down and i cant argue with that. One guy on here took a dinosaur with a spork! I guess that makesus alllook like major douches' for even using bow[:-]Happy hunting[8D]
