What Bows Have you Owned in your Life?

[Tony Trietch]

Ha! My memory has a limited amount of space and apparently all the bows I have had since 1980 have slipped my mind so here's my list;

lots

I built my list of bows about 3 years ago, filling the time between talking hunting with the Inuits, texting on the InReach with my wife and friends, etc on a -40* blizzard day spent in the tent while Polar Bear hunting. Took a bit of memory jarring to write them all down...and not sure I got all of them. Can't remember the specific model of some of the bows that didn't stick around very long either.

I wrote the list in "Notes" on the iPhone, along with some of the other lists I made ion that trip....dogs, automobiles, bikes/quads, guns, boats, states/provinces/species hunted etc. Turns out I refer to the varous lists on occasion and when the question was asked on bows owned, all I had to do was copy that Note over to Rokslide.

1.) PSE. A cheap, unknown model back in 1995.
2.) Martin Cheetah. Around 2001.
3.) PSE Evolve.
4.) PSE Xpedite.
5.) Mathews Halon 6
6.) Mathews Halon 6
7.) Mathews Halon6.
8.) Athens Revelation 7
9.) Mathews Traverse
10.) Mathews HTR
11.) Mathews VXR 31.5
12.) Mathews Halon 6
13.) Mathews V-3-31.

I've bought and sold a few Halons and currently have another. I buy and sell some bows occasionally, and always end up getting a Halon. They can be had for a good price so I end up getting a good deal every now and then.

I usually keep two bow for myself. No need for more than that really.
I buy and sell enough so I get to setup and try out enough to keep me busy. There's no shop here so it evolved out of necessity.

Current bows:
Mathews VXR 31.5 and a Halon 6.
I've paid a deposit and am on a waiting list for the V-3. It'll ship in January. I'll sell the Halon soon.
I'd like to get a Bowtech SR-6 to mess around with. I'm pretty familiar with dialing in Mathews bows now. LOL.
