Who here shoots/hunts with the oldest BOW?

[elky McElkerson]

I hate auto correct!!! \"BOW!\" Not \"now\"

Guys get new bows over on AT, seems like annually. I peek in, but dont buy. I personally do not enjoy bow set-up. I\'m just not super great at it. And it seems like it would be easiest if I was messing with the bow at the range do I can test shoot.

My bow is 2014, and I\'ll need some compelling reason to swap. Like I blow out my shoulder

The guys on AT have been supplying me with almost new bows since 2007! Gotta love those guys!!!

Currently shooting 2014 bowtech rpm360. Can\'t beat a 1 year old for a 50% discount! Just hope I don\'t have any warranty issues.

Oldest Now or oldest Bow, it really doesn\'t matter. I\'m 73 :train: and my bow is a 2004 Mathews LX. :dance2: :dance2:

Now I\'m shooting a 2013 Hoyt Spyder.

My backup is my 2008 Hoyt Katera.

Looks like I have the oldest so far. I shoot a Parker Ultra Light 31. I bought it new in 2000. I have made a modification by milling a hole in the back of the riser below the grip and installed a 3/8\" aluminum rod and a rubber off of an old front mount STS string stop I had on it. It has had new strings 3 times and will get new ones next year if I am still shooting it. I hate to give her up. IBO is like 320 or something. My main reason of not letting go is it weighs 2.9 lbs bare. It is also short and it has proven itself to me. I like a light bow packing in the mountains.

i bought a new but closeout hoyt crx in 2013 i think. before that was a closeout hoyt katera. not sure what year it was but may be the best shooting bow i ever owned. i would love to have a defiance, but i dont hunt enough anymore to ever buy a new one.

2008 Diamond Black Ice for me.

still happy with it so far, and no plans to replace it anytime soon.

It doesnt have near as much blood on it as I\'d like, but I\'ve worn the paint off the handle carrying it!

2007 Mathews Drenalin. Bought it used a couple years ago for around $350 I believe.

Well I just cracked a limb on my PSE XForce so I\'m bring out my old High Country !! I believe I bought it in about 1998 or 99 or so.

I\'ve shot 4 bulls with it including a huge 350 bull that I had a hard time finding after what I thought was a perfect shot !! By the time I found him a big ole Grizzly was on him and I was glad to make it out with no harm done !!!! That was my biggest bull to date until this year !!!

I\'m hunting a 370 bull I found last year !!!

GO HIGH COUNTRY !!!

2010 Martin Crossfire, with a 2006 Martin P3 as a backup. That is, if I can\'t hunt with a longbow this year.
