Just wondering if most bowhunters/shooters are faithful to one bow maker or do you change from one maker to another? And do you remember which bows you used to shoot? My first post I ever posted I said I was going to hang up the old wht. hunter bow and I was trying to decide to go with Mathews or Bowtech, well, to tell you the truth, I hung up that old bow along time ago, I apologize for the fib, but I wanted your take on which bow everyone liked or disliked without being partial cause you knew I shot a mathews, and I did get alot of different opinions. I have been shooting my mathews(featherlite) for 8yrs. now and have taken alot of bull elk, 2 bear, and 1 muley buck, so, its like my right hand man you could say. But I think its time to replace it as there are alot of nice bows on the market now, still undecided...
Heres the bows I have owned in order, I'll see if I can get it right-- Jennings Starlite, Bear Wht. HunterII, PSE PhaserII, Golden Eagle, High Country Trophy Hunter, and my old faithful, Mathews Featherlite.

I've had the same bow (hoyt) for 8 months and still no regrats. Just waiting to get my first bowkill with it[:-]

Good grief.... There is no way I can remember all the bows I've shot since 1955. I know I shot homemade selfbows until I got my first storebought bow - a solid glass Bear recurve, 45 pounds. Then I had some nameless wood/glass recurve that I shot for ages. My first compound was a Pearson, circa 1980. Don't even know what model it was but it had the deer hoof logo stamped in the wheel hangars. And that's when I went nutzoid!

Several wood riser Brownings, a Bear, Onieda, several Martins, umpteen jillion Hoyts (well, 10 anyway), McPherson, Pearson - again.

And at the same time I had the compounds going on, there were still sticks: several each of Martin ML-14's and Howatt Hunters, some Pearsons, Shakespeares, Bears, York, Hoyts, Brackenbury (first custom 'curve), Bighorn, Saxon (2), Robertson, Bill Stewart... Lordy!

Now I've got a homemade r/d longbow, a few selfbows, still got a few Hoyts and a Martin laying around, a Chek-Mate on the way.

You wouldn't believe how many of those bows I'd love to have back. And how many I'm darn glad to be rid of!

Hmmm.....

Browning Mirage Hunter DC to....

Hoyt MT Sport to....

BowTech MightyMite to....

BowTech Liberty (and I don't plan on switching anytime soon)

Started with Bear, then Darton, Golden eagle and now the best of the best--- Hoyt!

I would love to try out a different bow.....but I don't have the cash flow that some of these guys must have. When I get a bow, typically it has been about a 5 year comitment each time.

I would be really interested in trying out a bowteck or parker....but no sence in going and getting any hopes up when I know I am not going to get one.

I'm fickle. Started with a Damon Howitt recurve. Then I shot PSE for around 26 or 27 years and then switched to Darton for the last 4 or so.[] I hunted with the same PSE Lazer Magnum for almost 20 years. I then switched to an SR1000 for a few years, .... and now the Darton. No need to change right away.

I started with an old PSE a friend gave me but my last two have been hoyts and the next one probably will be also.

Bear recurve, bear magnum hunter, golden eagle pro-revolution, and presently a bowtech bkII and custom made kota recurve.

My first bow was a pse but I can't remember which model it was, I was only like 8. My second bow was a pse youth model bow but can't remember the model name either, and I used this bow for 3 years. Unfortunately I did not harvest anything with it [:'(]. then I switched to a Golden Eagle Carbinehawk. I shot that bow for 7 years. I now own an 03 bowtech patriot sc. I have never owned or shot a bow I didn't like though.
