Default Jennings Buckmaster bow or keep the Flatliner

am thinking of getting a 2001 Buckmaster split limb bow, every year I think I need a new one but the Flatliner works just fine. Any reasons why I shoud update? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks Tom Jennings

First of all, Flatliner Tom, welcome to the forum. Now the only thought I have on this topic is...if you get a Buckmaster, you'll need to change your name to Buckmaster Tom..<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

No seriously, it's got to be a personal preference thing. If the Flatliner is working just fine, use it. It's getting tight to the season now to break in a new one. Think about it for next season, or better yet, get serious....Get Hoyt...whoops, the fingers slipped. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Yeah, like Rob said Get a Ho...Uhh, I mean, stick with Flatliner if it is still working for you...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

No, seriously, if the Flatliner still feels good for you then stay with it. You would probably gain more maneuverability, lighter weight, possibly some speed and some forgiveness by switching to one of the Buckmaster models but all of that is moot if you are not comfortable in shooting the bow.

if it were me, i would take a serious look at the buckmaster g2. 31 inch axle to axle, 75% lettoff, 3.9 pounds, buildt in sims dampners, string silencer, all for about $499. it's a good idea to have 2 bows setup for hunting. you never know if something is going to happen to your bow. time in the hunting woods is very precious!

Thanks for the response guys, The Flatliner is just that It flatlines the Bucks when they get in front of me, Was thinking of the upgrade if my 14yo son was going to hunt this year, he could use the flatliner tuned down a little for him (doesn't need to shoot 80lbs)<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>, and I would get the new, thought about the Jennings for a few reasons, Price, the Buckmaster 2000 last years model is at $250.00 rite now Single cam design, split limbs, and of course the founder of the company has the same name as me Tom Jennings, should check to see if he is related could maybe get some $$$$$$$$$$ or be happy with a bow too<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> additional comments welcome Tell me more about the Hoyt.

Well, i just bought me a brand new Jennings Buckmaster 2000. I really like it. Its got a nice 75% let off, which i like. I think it really shoots good, its not too awful heavy, i got mine for $225, which i thought i did good on because they are usually 250. Now this is my first bow too, so i don't have any others to compare it to. but i think all-in-all its a good bow. got the bow, and the needed acc. and arrows for 406. hope this helped.
