My first bow was a Bear Cub recurve. It was a wood laminate with hand wrapped leather grip. It was also rated at #47. That was back when they made them...tested them....then rated them. Didn't get exact weights until a little later. My second bow was a #50 pound Shakespear recurve. I used that bow so much it literally felt like an extension of me. Those were simpler days...back when one thought a #40 - #45 bow was more than sufficient for deer and black bear! And with the Bear Razorheads, Zwickleys, etc.. broadheads, and wooden shaft arrows....they were.

My oh my, how times have changed!

My first bow was a PSE Polairos(sp) compound. 41" a/a I could hit better with that little cheap bow, than any I've had since then. don't know why unless it was the long a/a and braceheight. I'm goin back to a 41" er after I shoot this MQ1 for a year or two, just to see.

My first bow was a pse polaris 45-60 with round wheels and teardrops to change the string yourself.I bet I used that 10 years almost.My next bow will be pse and simple also.I have used a hoyt raptor with super g limbs for 4-5 years now and still always think of the old one.

My first bow is the one I still use.....PSE Nova

But I have been eye balling the PSE Primos STL lately[:-]

Edit: after reading and discovering that PSE produsts are made in China I am reconsidering this...this stinks!

My first real bow is a P.S.E. Thunderflight express. Great bow! Almost 10 years old and still slaying deer. :)
