Who Has The Oldest Bow?

[ElkNut1]

Very curious about who not only has the oldest bow to date but that you will still use it this year!

My oldest bow I used was for 10 years. My present bow is two years old this year!

15 years old. My old man got it when we first started bow hunting in 2006.

11 years old- not in use.
8 years old- still shoot, use as back up.
4 years old- primary bow.

My oldest bow is about 40 years old, bear whitetail hunter, but the oldest I plan on using this year is 2 days old now, EVO EVL.

Does a 98 MQ1 or a similar era hatfield have a chance?

If not....my 60's herters perfection mag must.

I have a 1999 Matthew's that is still my main bow. Have the original paperwork, pin, and decal that came with it.

Matthews heli-m 2012 killed elk 2 out of the last 3 years. But I have never liked it that much. Lol. See how life goes, I have a 10 year rule before I can buy a new bow.

2005 bowtech justice. I was thinking of replacing it this year, but then again if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Oldest bow in my household is the fiberglass “Lil Sioux” longbow I got 30+ years ago and that my son uses now.

My current bow is 7 years old. I also abide by the 10 year rule, so I've gotta make this one last until June 2024.

I take out each year a couple days a 1992 High Country Excalibur. My other bows are a 2009 Hoyt Seven 37 and my primary bow is an 2012 Elite Pure.

My oldest bow is my second bow a 1982 Golden Eagle Hunter. I shoot it a few times a year but won’t take it in the woods.

Currently using an '08 Bowtech General. It usually works fine if the guy drawing it does............

Mine was a Buckhalter G2. I'm not sure of the age but I guess around 1999? I bought it in 2004 or 2005.

Bought my first bow in 1990 or 1991, Martin Lynx magnum and it still gets used by beginners that want to try flinging their first few arrows.
Still have my original PSE xforce 2007 (from memory) still gets used a couple dozen days a year on small game.
2019 Mathews Vertix and Traverse both used on big game.

I'm currently shooting my dad's Bear Super Kodiak. Made and purchased in 1976 I believe. So it's 45 years old this year. I'm so good with it I managed to miss a turkey at 5 yards last weekend!

I picked up Matthews original solo cam in 2005. Still my primary weapon, uncountable critters and shooting competition trophies since. The initial tryout, third shot was a 20yd 'Robinhood'. Had to have it, still shoots just as well! Having a hard time replacing this one.

I already have a 2006 Bowtech Old Glory but I just got a new one exactly the same.......except this one looks like a safe queen compared to mine that has been used a LOT. I'm thinking about using it this year instead of my PSE Freak. Maybe I'll use both of them and alternate.......who knows.

Matthews Outback bought in 2004, still haven’t upgraded...

Mathews Switchback still my go to. Not sure of the year I got it.
