I used to bow hunt a lot. I mean I didn't miss opening day for anything in the world, and then I hunted every minute I could scrounge after that (which was every weekend and holiday).
Then I had kids, and something had to go...fishing and bow hunting went. I'd still rifle hunt, but time spare time was virtually nonexistent.
Now that the kids are older I have some time again. I broke out the bow recently and re-discovered how much fun it is. Then that got me to thinking about how old this bow must be. It doesn't feel old...it looks dang near brand new. It shoots fast and quiet. I think I bought it sometime between 2001 and 2003 but to be honest it's been so long I really can't remember.
It seems like everyone I know who bow hunts, buys a new bow every year or two. I'm the weirdo...I keep my stuff forever.
So...how old is your bow?
