I am in the same boat. Every year I look and have to talk myself out of buying a new one.

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.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

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
Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

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!
