When to change bows

Only bow I've owned is a Switchback XT. Got it in 05 or 06. Shy of something breaking that won't get warrantied, I doubt I buy another. Too much for me right now.

Probably the best bow mathews ever made, have several buddies that bought new bows and ended up selling them and going back. The Z7 is the same way, I bought a helium when I replaced my old Vectrix, but only because I like a lighter bow.

All the angst that goes into choosing a bow--well, when I upgraded from a Browning Trophy Reflex from the early '90s time frame, I chose a Mathews Outback because I looked at one in a pawn shop and decided I liked the way it felt. Never shot it or drew it, but I'm happy. I also have a DXT and had a Hoyt which I was happy with as well. No mystery in it with me as I am not a speed freak, shoot heavy aluminum arrows with Bear Razorheads and value the quietness and stability of the bow most of all.

And, yes, I'm an ORF--old retired ****
