Old Bows
 

How many stick with the same old friend year after year even with all the newer and suppose to be better out there every year?

Welcome to the board. I bought a cheaper bow and am thinking about switching to a faster bow, like a Bowtech. I love my bow, but I think my little brother would like it even more. It will be a present. He tells me he loves my bow and wants it so bad. I would rather give it to him sooner than later. I can buy a new bow, but he doesn't have the money.

As Zak said, welcome to the board! I'm fairly new to the compound world, but I plan on upgrading my bow as often as every two years. That gives me enough time to put away a little extra cash for a new bow and accessories without too much guilt. It also gives me enough time to take a few animals and make a few memories with my bows. I don't know whether I'll sell the bows or not, I'll probably keep them and use them for bowfishing, small game, etc...

Not so sure about the every 2 year plan Wash.;) With a Martin you better make it every 2 months!:D Just kidding.

Bought my Pro-Line in the mid 80's and have hunted every year since with it. It's logged a lot of deer since then.

I can't seem to bring myself to get rid of it. I like the size, the feel, and how I shoot it.

Only time I don't take it is when I'm toting my Necedah recurve.

I buy a new bow every 3 or 4 years and pass my old bows on as gifts.

I'm guilty when I find 1 I like.

I have used my "old" PSE edge 2050Z since it came out in the 80's it shoots well. It is a beast comared to the new bows out there today. I love the Bow Tech series. Liberty, Justice (for all)
Lot's of money. If you aint got it shoot well with what you got.

I do not evaluate my bows by age; I only care about the condition and the efficiency. Why in the world would I want to retire or get rid of something that has become part of me and that I know inside and out? I could buy a new bow every season. What for? To start learning all about the bow all over again?

I have yet to have a deer complain that he or she felt slighted being harvested with earlier gear. ;)
