No one laugh here... I have a Browning Deluxe Nomad I bought when I was 13-14 years old.. I'm now 43.. I have killed more deer with it than my truck could haul off.. I have only put 1 replacement string on it about 15 years ago.. I havent used it in the last 2 years because I bought a cross bow and want to kill a few with it.. I did buy a newer bow a few years ago but it just didnt shoot like my old one so I sold it..

I had a Browning Ambush 80 that my parents gave me for christmas when I was in my early teens. I'm now 25 and started using it this season, until someone got in my garage and stole my bow and several tools. Thus I now have a 2010 PSE Stinger. Ha, even got them to take money off because the 2011 models were coming out the following week!

My parents bought me a brand new PSE for Christmas in 1984. I have hunted with it every season since 1985. It has slain many deer and a wild hog. I see no need to change it for a new compound.
Several years ago I developed an interest in traditional archery so I have bought a new longbow and a 1985 model Browning Wasp recurve. I hunt with them as well as the old PSE.

I like seeing all of the old bows here. There's so much pressure on bowhunters to buy the latest $1,000+ piece of action.

I have an Allen compound bow made in the early 1970's. (Allen was the guy who invented the compound bow) I bought it from a guy who knew Allen and bought it directly from him. I have not shot it in a while, and I would not use it to hunt because it's really noisy. A lot of bugs have been worked out since the early versions.

Not sure what year but it is a Golden Eagle Preditor not as fast as bows now but is very acurate and reliable I might be off but I think I have had it for 10 years gave 75 bucks for it and it still kills deer.

Actually, my first bow burned in our house fire 17 years ago. I bought the bow that I have now USED at that time. Actually, I have no idea how old it was then. I can tell you that it's a Pearson Spoiler, has the gray and black camo pattern and pretty heavy, imo.
As long as it keeps killing deer, I'll keep it. If a deer ever picks up an arrow and throws it back at me, then I'll go "bow" shopping...lol.
