I have a PSE Nova bow that i have been shooting since i was 14. So i have had it for about 5 years this winter. It still shoots great and i have taken my fair share of deer with it, but i am kind of wanting something else. The bow works and shoots fine no problems at all, but i hear all this talk about mathew' s bows and stuff and thinking about switching, what to do?

Keep your bow. I have the same situation. I have a nova that' s in its 7th or 8th year and was thinking about a new one this year, or maybe next, but fact of the matter is there ain' t a thing wrong with mine now. I like toys as much as anyone, but I also can' t see tossing a perfectly good bow.

Yeah but i was thinking of making my Nova into a carp killing machine

What' s wrong with having a spare bow, just in case?
Buy the new bow, you deserve it.

Think about it......you live once and if your anything like me,
hunting is your number one hobbie. Sometimes people
don' t need new things, but it' s nice to treat yourself, GO FOR IT.

I work hard for a living, if I can' t have what I want then what' s the
point of working?

Huntm Up - if you have the money and can afford it, buy it. But know that no matter what bow you buy or how great other people say it is, it won' t be 1 bit more deadly than the 1 you have now.

The most expensive bow in the world isn' t any more deadly than a stick bow in the hands of true hunter and experienced archer.

That said, having 2 bows is nice in case something ever happens to 1 of them. You have a back up and don' t have to worry about missing hunting time.

You are young and I' m assuming unmarried....I would go for it before someone else has a say wheather or not you buy it. You only live once.

That is very true........but if you really enjoy shooting more with the new one.....you' ll practice more......and enjoy it more.......and so on and so on ! I kept an old Jennings for 10 years and when I got my first Mathews ...I went from shooting a month before season ever year......to shooting weekly and daily.....going on 6 years now.....with very little slow downs !!

Buy a new one. I shot the same bow for 8 years and while it' s still a great bow, I wanted something new. The technology is so advanced from that by to my new, it isn' t funny. I gave my old one to my son.

Buy the bow, make the nova into a gar killing machine.

That' s exactly what happened to me. Stupid or not...I' m shooting and enjoying archery more than ever.

You work hard for a living, if you can' t have what you want then what' s the
point of working? That' s what I tell my wife every time I buy a new
rifle...hehehe.

I say go for it...it' s only money and you can' t take it with you.

Good luck on your decision!
