I been involved with archery for 21 years. Started out with a PSE Pulsar, then a PSE Fire Flight, to a Golden Eagle Evolution, and now a Hoyt Trycon. I shot the Golen Eagle for 10 years and still use it as a back up bow. I probably would also be shooting the Fire Flight if it wasn't lost to a fire.

RE: What have you owned?
Heck don't think I can remember all of them. My firstcompound was made for me by Pearson Archery. That was when they first started tinkering with the idea of makingyouth compound bows. I had the first one off the line. I guess it was a prototype back then. I would have to ask my dad to be sure. I still have it at home.I'm pretty pleased with Hoyt though. After being able to shoot pretty much all of them Idon't think I would ever switch.

RE: What have you owned?
My first bow was a custom one byDave Barnsdale, which I still have and it shoots real well. My Old Glory is only my second bow, and I plan to have it for a long time! I'm only 25, so I haven't been at this too long, about 4 years when you put all the time together, but during myfootball years, Ididn't get out much.
