How long do you keep your bow?

[Gemlin]

I use my 2008 Mathews Drenalin. It shoots great and kills game just fine. Although I do replace the strings every 3-4 years, but its still cheaper than buying a new bow.

I see in the responses above, I'm not the only one that still has a Drenalin!

I shoot a compound finger bow with a finger tab, a 2011 Hoyt Vantage LTD. Can't buy a new one, they stopped making them after the Tribute. The challenge is buying back-up parts so if something breaks, I can keep it on the road, like the cars in Cuba. I found some replacement 50-60 lb. limbs, so now just need some #3 Accuwheels and modules, which Hoyt doesn't make anymore either, according to my dealer. After a stroke, heart surgery, and cataract surgery, at 66 I qualified for Hagerman last year with it. Triggers don't work for me since the feeling in my right hand has diminshed.

Still hunting with my 2007 Bear Elements. Went to buy a bow last year, tried several out...ended up buying my son a new bow instead. My bow still feels comfortable so I'm good.

3/4 years is usually my schedule

[gatt40]

Still shooting my Mathews Heli-M, think it’s a 2012

[Statton48]

I buy one every 2 years usually. I keep my creed for back up and usually shoot whatever I have at the time. Right now it’s the VXR.... has the triax last year. Almost pulled the trigger on the new elite Kure. Was a very tough decision, might still try and fit it in somehow

2015 Bowtech Prodigy... I dont see how another bow could help me hunt any better. I liked my bear before that, just outgrew it

I have been bow hunting for 36 years and I think I am on my 4th bow. Bear WT II, an Alpine bow sold by cabelas, a switchback and now a 8-9 year old DXT that shoots better than me.

To me it’s a lot like golf....it’s not about the clubs it’s more about the practice. Especially with any modern bow.

20 years with my bow until I bought a Z3 three years ago. Just bought a VXR 2 months ago. Planning on having this one for awhile.
