Bought my MQ1 the year they first hit the shelves. [:-]Think I' ll keep it til someone invents a better one.
I will have to go shoot that new LX though, now that Muzzy has a rest for it.[8D]
Imagine that!!

My buckmaster has to be outdated.
I bought it used, and have had it for a few years, and the guy at the pro-shop guessed it was an older one, so yeah older and outdated here.
(It still competes very nicely at 3-Ds with a matthews, hoyt, and jennings that are all less than a year old :-))

RE: who here still hunts with outdated bows?
Some good points above...specifically, what makes a bow outdated? The fact that the company no longer makes that particular model? The fact that the bow might not be worth selling? etc...
Up until about 6 or 7 years ago I still hunted with a Bear Whitetail bow crica 1984 and it served me perfectly well. Then the little bow buy bit me and I have not been well since...

Until this year, I did as well. Like GleninAZ, I too have hunted with the PSE Carroll Intruder DC since 1992, and I' ve shot many whitetails with it. Set on 78 lbs, it still shoots 264 fps with a 450 grain 2413. I also still have my Bear Whitetail II and it has killed even more whitetails than the PSE. Admittedly, it' s slow, but it is still deadly. I could probably even dig back into the closet and find my Indian 45# recurve, though I' m not sure if I have a string for it.!!!
Guess I' m going to hunt with a new one this year!!! We' ll see if that Bowtech VFT can keep the venison coming. One thing is for sure, these new bows are amazing to shoot

I killed a deer the last day of the season with my trusty old PSE 2050Z with Maxis cams. It' s a ' 93 or ' 94 model and still zings them right in there. I' ll take it hunting in a heartbeat.
I did just by a 2002 MQ1 from a friend for a steal. Very nice shooter. I love the draw on that thing. Very smooth. I' ll be hunting with it next season, but my old PSE ain' t going anywhere.

for the past 16yrs i hunted with a golden eagle turbo cam hunter. this year i switched from fingers to a release and purchased a legacy. the difference between the two bows was like going from a horse and buggy to an automobile.

Bear Kodiak compound, with wheels. It was used when I purchased it years ago. I don' t know how old it is. It sqeaks and creaks, but still gets the job done.
Bought my wife a Golden Eagle Evolution, with dual cams a couple of months ago, but I' m stealing it from her, and buying her something with even less pull weight.
