RE: Butch's old bow (before and after)
LOL!!! My old bow is a classic... I love it dearly...
I have a buddy who has an even older bow (obviously "retired" and will never get shot). He has a Browning compound bow with lamenated wooden limbs. It has like 4 different cables/wheels on it and the cables attach to the riser at the very end. It's from the late 70's or early 80's or something. Now THAT is an old bow!

Hey Butch. You can remove the limbsavers by sliding a razor blade under them. Or go along with the saying if one is good, two is twice as nice! They definitly will not hurt!

Antique?!?! No no no no... "Miss Patsy" is from 1996. She's a classic old bow that I will hang onto forever.
Irecently checked out a brand new Hoyt Ultra-Mag at Green Top Sporting Goods the other day and had this weird feeling come over me when I held it and drew it back. I couldn't believe how balanced and easy to draw it was. I just have to figure out how to make it appear in my house without my wife finding out! [&:]
Yeah, we (you, me, Eng40sqd) need to get together and do a hunt somewhere. Sounds like a great plan!

OMG..... You too have a 1000C?!?! 
Wow, and I thought I was the only one left on the planet still shooting a classic old bow! 
I like that... "it's not the bow, it's the operator". That's really cool!

P.S. I would love to meet up with someone shooting a brand new Bowtech or Mathews or Hoyt or something that is like 305fps. We'll have ourselves a little "challenge"... 25 yards.... plain ol' field tips... You shoot first.... Then I'll step in and bust your nock or rip a fletching on your arrow!

LOL!!! Your arrow would be in the next county if we used my Black Hole target! It's about to fall apart and can only be shot on the top end of it on one side. [&:][:'(] Now, maybe if we did a little 3D, then it would be more fun...
