I've got my original compound that I bought about 7 years ago. Bowtech carbon overdrive. Haven't had a good reason to upgrade. Bought a stick bow this year as well. I think it is more fun to shoot than my compound.

I just thought about the bows I have owned, and it got me thinking....figured some others might enjoy this exercise:

Browning Fox II 1988 - 1991

Browning Bridger 1991 - 1994

PSE F2 Maxis 1995 - 2008

Bear G2 Buckmaster 2008 - 2012

Diamond Iceman 2012 – 2015

Elite Synergy 2015 - Present

My very first bow was a green fiberglass recurve kids bow with a red plastic handle. I got it whne I was about five years old. Shot those wooden arrows with the plastics vanes and crimped on tin points.

I got a bigger one after that.

then a Bear Whitetail

Bear Whitetail II

a PSE base model compound that I don’t remember the model name.
A PSE Fire Flight
A PSE Thunderbolt
An Oneida Screaming Eagle
A Mathews Q2
A Mathews SQ2
A Mathews Drenalin

a plethora of vintage Bear recurves off the top of my head:
A Bear 59’ Kodiak new model, not a vintage one.
Bear Tigercat (current)
Bear Kodiak Magnum (current)
Bear Grayling Green Super Kodiak 64” (sold it like an idiot)

[LazyHunter]

PSE Pulsar - Don't know what happened to it
PSE Mach 4 - Still have it -crack in limb
Martin Onza w/ Mega Cam - Never could get it to tune, traded it for Jennings.
Jennings Carbon Extreme- Moved and needed cash. Sold to coworker.
Golden Eagle Evolution XTR Still have and shoot-able
Hoyt Nitrum 34 - Still have - shoots great
Hoyt Nitrum Turbo - Still love this one the best - had no reason to buy a new one yet

I was looking at some of the new PSE's to possibly make the trip back to the beginning.

 

[Matt mi]

New Proline 1994 12yrs old-15
Older Oneida not sure the year it was 43in or 48in tip to tip 15yrs - 19
Oneida eagle19-24 second brand new bow ever
2006 Hoyt viper tech 24-36
2019 hoyt helix will prob own this one for 20yrs
What's crazy to me is prices I think the proline brand new was under $200. The hoyt viper tech I still have will always have was given to me from my hunting buddy that passed away that bow has so many memories

 

[NYyotekiller]

Way too many.

Typically buy three a year and have been doing so for about 14 years. Before that I only had 4 bows.

Yeah, I know I have a problem.
