Hunting with an older bow...
Just wondering how many of you bowhunter's bowhunt with an older model bow?? I got an 1997 maybe 98 High Country Extreme.Guess these older bows killed deer back then it still can now!:p

Not an old one....but I have a fairly new recurve that sees some action.
|
I shoot a Mountaineer, it's from the early 90s...Still shoot fingers, aluminum arrows, feathers, no peep and 125 Thunderheads...
Guess that's what OF do... :) |
Years ago, people killed deer just fine with flint arrowheads and a bow strung with a strip of hide. Doesn't mean I have to use that today. ;)
FWIW, I upgraded from a 15-year old bow last year. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to. And I really like the new bow better, for whatever it's worth (faster, more consistent shooting, better feel, etc). |
I myself still use the first bow i ever bought it is an xi impact.

i have a newer hoyt katera that i hunt w but my dad use to shoot a real old bow and could out shoot me any day of the week, so i dont think the bow makes the shooter good its all about pratice and skill

Although I don't own or shoot them any more I killed a lot of deer with compounds from the 70's. You know. Those 190-200 fps, 20% letoff wonders of their day. Funnuy how a 50# bow from that era killed 'em just as dead as these newer 70# things people think they need today.
