RE: What bows have you owned?
Of at leat 40# hunting draw weight-
Wooden riser & limb compound bought at gun show when I didn't know what I was doing, but knew I wanted to bow hunt.
PSE - beginners bow of some sort (plastic cams?)
Mathews Z-light- a used this bow for 6+ seasons before trying to replace it with something better. Still looking
. Will never sell this bow, too many memories that outway what $$I could get for it. Had it restrung this year & it will still shioot good & fast. I will be updating it this year with a no-peep & sts.
Bowtech Mighty-mite- liked this bow plenty fast, Force draw curve wasn't to my shoulders liking. Maybe I was over drawn, maybe I should have dropped a 1/2" in draw weight. Oh well it's gone.
Bowtech Stalker- picked it up cheap for something to play with, will be sold soon.
Bowtech Patriot SC- A great shooter, smooth draw & fast.-Killed 3 deer w/ it this year. So far it's batting 4 for 4& those are numbers I like.
Now that I'm shooting with a no-peep I'm considering my next bow to be in the sub 33" catagory. I know this is a marginal switch at best, but I need a reason for a new one and this sounds decent enough to me
.
If nothing woo's me I'll stick with my Patriot .

Reflex Grizzly (pre-2000) was my first bow...grip way to big, didn't feel real comfortable with it.
Bowtech Stalker-Used it for 3 years...good little bow.
05 Bowtech Liberty- I'll be keepin this one for awhile.
Almost forgot the 70's vintage Bear Grizzly Recurve...Still learning to shoot it.
