1.25# Bear cub - Compound
2. Two - 55# Bear Grizzly Recurves = ruined both as a teenager [:@][8D][:' (]
Compounds :
3. 50-60# Bear something ??? string broke and hit my arm after about 200 shots [:o]
4. 60-80# Jennings Galeforce = replacement for broken Bear ,10 years - hunted very little with it.
5. 60-70# Jennings Buckmaster - sold after 2 weeks when I shot a friend' s MQ-32 (Wow what a difference back then) !

I will admit that I really knew nothing about archery up to this point(except I liked it) :

6. 60-70# Mathews MQ-1 -Replaced the Buckmasters, 3 years & gave to Dad
7. 60-70# Mathews Ultra 2 had a little over a year - for sale ?
8. 60-70# Mathews LX currently = think I like it the best so far !!
