Guest bigbucks125 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 how often do you guys buy a new bow? every year? every 2,3,4??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows Depends on money situation........I had my old bow for 10+ years. Only way I am buying a new one is if I find something that shoots better than what I shoot now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows More like every 8-10 years for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows I usually buy at least 1 bow a year-sometimes 2.Last year I bought 3 bows-all used custom recurves & longbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows Way too often. The longest I've ever owned a bow has been 3 1/2 years. Usually, I own them for a year or so. Same with parts on my bow, I change quite often. I just like trying different products too much.

Tony Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows it just depends on the deal im going to get. i have had my 03 Protec target bow for 3 years now . my hunting / 3D bow is a 05 Ultratec which means im not trading it in anytime soon. if i got an offer to shoot for someone i could switch over to new stuff. but until that deal comes along im sticking with the current bows i have. before i got my Hoyts , i was getting a new bow about every 4 years.. Shoot Strong Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows I'm averaging 1 every 7 or 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows I usually buy one about every 2-4 years (based on the "what have you owned" post). My last bow was from e-bay. If I had gone to the dealer for new, it would probably be around $700-750. My final cost used was $400. Never again will I buy new. Let the prima donna's do that and then I'll get it a couple months later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows I haven't bought a new compound in 8 years. I bought a recurve in 2003. I am looking at buying a new compound this year though. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows On average, about every 6 years or so. Sometimes switching is like giving up on an old friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows Well, I've been bowhunting for 10 years now and have had only 2 bows. I used my PSE for 8 years, and switched to a Matthews Outback after that. I absolutely love my outback and unless it breaks in half or is stolen, I plan on shooting it for many years to come.

Guest adamc Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows I've had my mathews for 3 years now and don't see anything wrong with it so i will hold on to it for a while. Might change the gear on it but won't buy a new bow yet. I kept my browning bow for 2 years before buying my mathews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows Every 3-4 yrs. Since this is the 4th year, thinking of trading up to a matthews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows Once I got out of the tournament scene, I finally got over buying every new thing that came out on the market. Actually, for just hunting, almost any bow will do the job. If my Matthews holds up and I don't have any catastrophic failures, I may have bought my last bow.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: how often to you guys buy new bows I buy a new bow when I see fit to. I recently just bought a Browning Rage. It was one heck of an upgrade from my Browning Micro Midas 3 that I was shooting for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
