RE: Any "Old School" shooters here???
vudoochylde I took a 20 year step forward in bows less than a month ago. I had an 20+ year old Bear Black Bear, the only extra it had was front pin sights that came with it. I bought a Browning Ambush which I beleive is made by PSE. My local archery shop tuned her up for me and at 20 yards within 4 shots I cut a bull. It has fiberoptic sights, a peep, a stabilizer and some other fancy things!
The difference between the two bows is like night and day, it shoots way faster and is far more accurate. If you take a step forward you will be shocked at how much easier the new bows with the whistles are.

Tazman,
I have been looking at the new bows only because I'm curious as to whats out there and like the Renegade Nontypical XL, and some of the Darton bows, but I haven't gotten the chance to shoot any of them. Maybe after I shoot some I can make a choice.

An Archer likes to see how far he can shoot his arrow. A Bowhunter likes to see how close he can get before he has to shoot his.

Hello,
I started bow hunting around 1967 with a fiberglass recurve called a Locksely.Then in 1971 I bought a Howatt Hunter which I really loved.I didn't get a deer until the following year 1972.This of course was all bare bow or instinctive shooting as they say.Then I got talked in to putting a sight on it.In 1979 I bought my first compound,a Martin Warthog.Then in 1985 I bought a Proline Typhoon XT with the speed cams.Now I'm real high tech in 1997 I got a Mathew's Conquest Pro with all the goodies.As of now I'm in no rush to buy another for quite awhile.
