I am in the same boat. Every year I look and have to talk myself out of buying a new one.
Still shooting my Pearson Z4 R2B2.

I don't know what year it is but I shoot (when I shoot) a High Country. I don't think I've had it out of the case in 4 years.

My bow is older than most of y’all. I shoot a proline new wave but I am thinking about buying a new bow because mine is too heavy.

Mathews LX that I bought new the first year they came out.

I bought a 2007ish Pearson spoiler sp-1 off craigslist about 4 years ago for $75 Very light and compact. I love it. My bow tech says he's suprised at how quiet it is and how well it shoots. You just said Bowtech. Just sayin.

I've still got the first bow I ever bought. A Mathews MQ32. I've owned a couple other bows since, but I've never like one as much as it. I hunt with it just as much as I hunt with my Elite.
Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

It looks like there are a lot of people that really like the Switchback.

Still shoot my old Jennings Buckmaster from the mid 90's. Just picked up a Bear Archery white tail 2 likely from the 80's I want to set up as posted in my thread.
But i admittedly also have a new crossbow

Still shooting the original Mathews Switchback. Every year I look at the new bows, but ultimately decide that some things just don’t need perfecting. I shot an old Parker solo cam prior to this and use to put notches in the riser for every deer kill. If I would have done that with the Mathews I wouldn’t have a riser left. It’s a killing machine.

This post has been fun! There are some sure enough killers out here using older bows! Thanks for joining in the discussion!
