MichiganHunter Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 You know I don't get it either...I like the coolest and newest but I got my first NEW bow in 2007 Diamond Black Ice, and That was a arrow speed jump from low 200-ish to almost 300's so it was a big deal, but I'm not going to go DUMP a few hundred bucks just so I can have something new-ER, if they get a bow that will shoot 390's i'll look at upgrading but till then i'm very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I dont fault anyone if they want a new one every year. Makes a great used bow market! I like my bows like my cars, get them with a couple of years on them already and broke in good and for about half the retail of new ones, plus a lot of money saved in accessories usually as well. That new alphamax i would love to have can be mine in about two years for 300-350 bucks with some goodies attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Honestly my attitude is to each his own when it comes to buying new bows year after year. I'm not one of those that feels the need to upgrade with a new bow every year or 2 but it doesn't bother me that some do though. After all, there have to be some consumers that consistantly do that to provide the companies with the annual income to continue to improve their line of bows. I certainly can benefit from that when the time comes for me to buy a new bow. So for those that like to upgrade year after year please keep it up...you've got my blessing.

hutchies Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 just hope for your sake it's a Hoyt..... I hear the question alot about "Why is he buying a new bow?" To me it's no different than the guy that has 8 pistols, 5 rifles, and 3 shotguns........................but he still needs more. Or the guy that has to have that new car that just came out............ Who cares it's their money.................I wish I had the money to buy a few new bows.

Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I like my 07 Drenalin, and if I get a new bow it will be totally set up as a target bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I can't help but notice how many guys are trading in their 1 and 2 year old bows for the "newest" "fastest" bow out there..... I have to ask why.....I mean is 5,10, 20, heck even 30 feet per second worth 200-300 bucks per year....These new bows are getting the brace heights so darn low to achieve speed that you better not even flinch or your arrow won't be on target.... I guess I just missing something here...... I noticed that too, when I shot my Q2. Compared to my old FeatherMax it is a lot less forgiving.

Boy you're right on that point. If the entire archery market was made up of consumers like me, they wouldn't stay in business too long. Hooray for the mad spenders. They are saving the archery manufacturers, and keeping their doors open for the next pile of years until I finally need to replace something. I remember the days when archery equipment was not so plentiful and easily obtained. Keep up the good work guys. It is appreciated. But try not to drive the prices too high.
