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....

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!

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.

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.

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...

A burnie custom r-d longbow. In osage and bambo, or even brazilian walnut and bamboo. I hear they are the tops.

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??

RE: The best bows out there...
I have an old 1954 Bear longbow... That one will work for deer I assure you.
Your right you don't need the newest thing to hit the market. I got cought up in that once though I never had the money to buy much. Untill my most recent bow, all my bows cost me around 100 bucks. the bow I recently replace cost me 100 on clearance at walmart 14-15 years ago. I have killed many deer with it. My new bow cost me 3 times that. But it still is not the other end of the scale for sure.
Heck I make my own osage selfbows. They will kill deer too. And they only cost me the sweat it takes to make them...
However, If someone has the money and wants to keep up with the newest latest gizmos in archery...More power to them... I have no need in shooting 350 fps. I just don't. But I think its rather cool people have made an industry designing an selling bows that advance every year, at least in speed.
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.
