All my deer were killed with my Matthews. There is no comparison with my first two bows.

Very interesting thread So far and it's so wild how the technology has changed from the yesteryear bows. Almost makes me wanna go out and find a old compound 20 years or so old and go hunt with one again.

And Bud those are some super bow bucks, and seeing that old compound gettin the Job done is very impressive. No let off, aluminum arrows, probably 3 of the old brass single pins, satellite broadheads, and the two prong arrow rest that when you draw back you hear metal sliding on metal. (I had one those old type rest way back when and I'd keep a gob of Vaseline in the crevis of my bow and run it on the rest to quite the draw) man at the memories I'm reminiscing.

Started bow hunting in 1997.

First bow was a Jennings Uniforce 800R.

Killed lots of deer with it.

Then I switched to Mathews.

Mathews Q2XL
Mathews LX
Mathews MQ1
Mathews Switchback XT

I lost count on kills but somewhere around 40 +/- with a bow.

Been deer hunting right at 50!years and finally started getting mad at them with bows about 29 years ago!! Been mad with a bow ever since,shot McPherson Hoyt and a bunch of mathews,!!!and still mad at those horns,

I was probably 10. Didn't get serious about it until college.

started bow hunting in 1957, that = 60 years,and still counting waiting on October,first bow was from sears,i have since then, shot bear, browning, Jennings,hoyt,matthews, still shooting a Matthews. the first deer I killed was at choccolocco mgt.area in 1960 with a bear recurve ,it was a doe, the largest deer I ever killed was in st, clair co. on broken arrow creek, with a browning recurve , it placed in the top 10 in Alabama bowhunters for the 1975-1976 season

Started bow hunting in 1996 when I was 11 yrs old with a High Country Extreme. I could shoot lights out in tournaments and at targets but couldn't connect on a deer(emptied my quiver several times). In 1998 I won a McPherson Mark VIII in a tournament and connected on my first deer a 7pt that fall. Since then I have shot a High Country Brute Force, a Mathews LX, a Mathews Switchback and currently shooting a Mathews Z7. I have no idea how many deer I have killed with my bow and have never killed any monster bucks but I love to wear does out with my bow every year.

25 years. Bear, High Country, Hoyt. Bought a Mathews last year but haven't connected yet.

started in 1985.
Bear whitetail II
PSE polaris
PSE Mach 4
Mathews Feather Max
Mathews Switchback XT

No clue on number, probably around 35-40. Generally kill at least 1 a year with the bow.

Started bow hunting last year with a Bowtech Assassin, shot 1 doe so far.

20 years hunting. Martin Jaguar for a few years. Then I switched to a Black Widow PMAII. I still have that bow but now I mostly use a one piece Black Widow KBX.

Started Bow Hunting at age 10. So 17 years now, although some years, I wasn't as aggressive about it,and rarely went.

Bows:
Browning Micro Midas
PSE Spyder
Mathews Switchback
Mathews Creed XS

41 deer with the stick and string.

That edge has claimed many lives

I started with a Bear recurve when I was 16. Killed 11 deer with that bow. Then I got a High Country Trohpy Hunter and probably killed 70-80 with that bow, just based on the painted marks each time I killed one. Then I purchased a Matthews Switchback and have taken around 45 with that bow and continue to shoot that bow today. I doubt I will ever venture out and buy another one as this ones meets all my needs. I still my old High Country and have thought about using it some this season but I like that let off too much on the Matthews. Wouldn't mind giving a traditional bow a few shots as well.

25 years, no count on kills
First bow was a Browning (Pronghorn) I think, I was 8 maybe
First hunting rig was a Mc Pherson Bantam. I grew with it.
High Country Extreme
PSE
Ben Pearson
Mathews LX (My favorite setup of all time)
PSE EVO

I have always enjoyed bow hunting and being an archer. My father started in the early 70's when he got home from the Nam. The path blazed by the early bow hunter's was a tremendous accomplishment that all of us modern day guys are deeply indebted to. Everything about the sport has come so far but its essence is still mostly pure despite technological advances in equipment.

Got my first bow in 1992. It was a Bear, but I don't remember the model name. Got a Bear Black Panther after that and then a Browning Adrenaline. For various reasons, I went about 10 years without bow hunting at all. Within the last year, I picked it back up and got a PSE Brute Force. Pretty fond of it.

Thinking back on it, I've killed thirteen deer and a bobcat with my bow.

this will be my third season bow hunting. Ive killed 1 doe so far and that was 2 seasons ago. drew back on a doe last year but I was busted. im shooting a bear attitude

Been bow hunting 22 years.

PSE Nova 50# : killed a 7 point and a doe.

High Country Four Runner 65# : have no idea, but a lot.

Pearson Pride 65# : no idea, but a lot.

- A newb; this will only be my 4th season this year (last year was a bust)

- Bear Carnage bow
