When I do, it'll only be because something broke on it. There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

I've had the same PSE stinger since I was 15 years old. My dad gave it to me for my birthday that year and it's the only bow I've ever owned. I turn 27 in November, and it has see the woods with me every fall. I keep telling myself its time for an upgrade, but then again I've never shot a single deer with it that the arrow didn't pass all the way through. So I don't guess I've lost any velocity.

I still use my 30 06 I got 23 years ago during rifle season and it still has same scope for 23 years and can’t seem to pull trigger on new one because it works like the day I got it. When I look at my older bow and gun I see memories I have made while carrying it.

Heck i have a few i need to get rid of, the last bow i sold was my black pewter marble Allegiance tournament bow, and that was about 8 years ago 😆 Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!
