By Jennings I think was the brand. Either way I picked it up at a pawn shop for 100 bucks about 6 years ago.

Yesterday I took it in to the archery shop with full intention of salvaging the sight and rest and what-not to put on a brand new bow, but while there the pro said it had plenty of life left, so I just got new strings and a tune.


Here's to bows as old as their shooter!

Jennings had a bow called the T Star , my dad still has it in his shed pristine with quickie quiver , springy rest , xx75 and satellite broadheads

Looks like a really good bow. Compared to the compounds I once shot it looks like an ultra-modern piece of extreme technology, lol. My first compound was a Browning...made by Carroll Archery Products...and was technically a 6 wheel bow. It had about 35% letoff and was about as bulky as truck bumper. I don't know how anybody killed anything back then. I moved up to a Golden Eagle round-wheel bow which had recurved limbs of laminated wood and glass. Good hunting bow, too. After that came a Hoyt Pro-Hunter which was a round-wheel also. It was no thing of beauty but by then bows were all down to 2 wheels. I hunted one season with it and killed 3 deer. It was just too easy for me and so I switched to a recurve.

I haven't owned a compound since some time in the mid/late '80s. The compounds of today are Star Wars-ian to me. I have no comprehension of what it would be like to shoot an extremely short bow with parallel limbs.
 
My favorite bow was my Pearson Renagade,I couldn't afford the Spoiler, with some xx75 super lites with a diameter the size of my fingers. I have to say, I do like today's parallel limb concept.
 
My first compound was a York CNC1, springy rest, 4 brass pin sight, full length GG 2219's, with Satellite broadheads. Thing weighed a ton and was slow as molasses.:cool:

The t star was a clothing wrapping sob . That under wrist cam was something

Ahh the PSE Mach 11 with the new type of power cams, we referred to them as hyper cams. Somewhere around 1983 or 1984 I believe
Hey these killed animals back then, why not still today, especially with the arrows we now use.
