I was born in '55...Started with a Bear recurve and Bear heads in the late 60s...I killed a dozen deer or so with that setup, many while sitting on a 5 gallon bucket...I remember when I pulled back my first compound, a Bear Whitetail in '75...I went with 2114 arrows and a 3 blade Satellite head...When I got my first Baker, I was set...I actually used that bow into the 90s and then bought a used Mountaineer...I probably killed 25-30 deer with the Whitetail and still have it setup, hanging in the garage...

My first bought camo was the Vietnam era tiger stripes, before that I just wore green pantsand shirts and later actually tie dyed some clothing for camo...I'm still a few decades behind as I still use the Mountaineer and have never gone to a release, peep, carbon arrows or a stabilizer...I'm still shooting aluminum arrows and either 125 Thunderheads or Muzzys...

Only to those die hards NC!!

I started in 1972 at 15 years old. I had a Ben Pearson recurve set at 50 lbs and some old easton arrows. I killed my first deer with that bow, A big doe from a makeshift ground blind. The next year I got a Baker climbing tree stand ( man was that thing dangerous ) It wouldn't grip a tree at all. I remember getting set up 15 to 20 feet on 3 or 4 different occasions the stand would loose it's grip and I would slide down to the bottom. Once I was hurt pretty bad, I thought I broke my tail bone. There wasn't to many bow hunters back then. I had most of my area to my self. That was great. My first compound bow was the Bear Alaskan, Man that was a nice bow I believe that was 1980. Where has all the time gone ????

Started in the late 70's with a bear recurve. I then got all fancified and bought a Indian Stalker compound. When my friends came over to shoot they remarked "Of course your gonna hit the center ring all the time with that wheel driven contraption" I laugh now at the thought of it!Almost everybody who had anything to say about archery was "You aint gonna hit a deer with one of those things." Oh how wrong were they? Looking back now at all the deer and good times I cant believe that everybody doesnt hunt with stick n string exclusively! But that is my one sided opinion.

Started in 84' with a American Archery something.

Am I the only one that shot theOLDBear Razorheads with the little insert bleeder blades? Man, those things went where ever they felt like it seemed at times. LOL Sharpened and sharpened until you wore them half through. Of course I can't sharpen a pencil for some reason.[&:] I remember hanging on a limb sitting on another hoping to get a shot. I'd probably have fallen out if a shot presented itself sometimes. And then I got a Baker, I was in Heaven. I only fell out of it once. LOL

Ha Ha Ha me too loved the bear heads, all I ever knew or needed for years, But boy o boy did they seem to have their own mind at times

They sold razorheads all the way up in the 80's or longer.

I used them for years myself. Don't they still make them?

Yea, but they are not the same thing. They are about like a muzzy.

I think the muzzy phantoms are close however to the original.
