beagleboy Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 When I started in 1989, I owned a PSE, don't remember the first model, then switched to a PSE Mach 4, then a PSE Baby G Force, and now an Elite Syenergy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 First bow I ever had was called a youth bow. All it said on it was bear. Then In 2004 I bought my first hunting bow a PSE Deer Hunter. During the 2006 season I sold my Deer Hunter and bought a brand new 2007 Martin Bengal. I sold the Bengal in July and then bought the bow I currently own which is a High Country Iron Mace.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 My first bow was a golden bear or something like that. Dad bought one for him and me, didn't really get into it much. Shot a bit but never really hunted with it. then about 6 years ago I started to really get into shooting and I bought my first MAthews, an SQ2, had that for 4 years and bought the Switchback I currently have (bought in 2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I've been bowhunting since 1987. My first bow was a PSE. My second bow was a Golden Eagle Evolution, third was Mathews Legacy, and now I have a Switchback XT. Switchback is my favorite so far.

wildthing Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I started bowhunting in 2004 and still own and hunt with the Hoyt MT Sport I bought back then. I have made some upgrades to it and keep it well maintenanced. It has been effective so I have not thought about upgrading to a new bow...until last year when my brother bought a Mathews. I am thinking about a new Mathews or Hoyt this year...not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it until 2004 and I finally broke down and bought my Mathews Outback. Now I have 5 recurves and 2 compunds:rolleyes:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Started bow hunting in 1988 with an old Bear Whitetail II. In 2003 I bought a Bear TRX and still use it today. Matthews will get the check for next bow. Hopefully it won't be another 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 My Dad bought us a used bow when I was 11 and we started hunting with that. We started shooting with my Parent's old recurves in the backyard. I Don't have a clue what brands they were. I then bought my 1st bow, an XI Impact Plus, in 1988. I killed my first buck with it in 1992. I bought my first Hoyt in 1993, a Supreme Super Slam and am now on my 3rd, a Dynatec. I still own those bows and they are on the wall in the rec room at my parent's house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
