Good Topic...I just got myself into a new setup this fall a New 2010 PSE-Stinger Ni.  Love the setup and even arrowed a nice buck this fall with it.  Prior to that I had an Oneida Tomcat-II for 20-some years.   :archery:

Well, Ive had my same bow (which is my first bow) for 2 years, its a Parker Wildfire XP and I like it, its pretty quite and I got it for a good price from cabelas.
I am not planning on getting another bow for a while, unless something goes wrong with this one.
-- I switched broadheads this year, to a Thunderhead 100gr which worked well for my buck, so I will stick with them and I am shooting Carbon Express arrows.

 :happy1:  If I had to buy a new bow, I would probably either buy a used Mathews or a PSE.

I just started bow hunting three years ago.  I bought a Liberty Diamond by Bowtech from a fellow MNO'er off this site.  It's been a great bow.  Three years ago I also won a Hoyt Katera at our chapter MDHA banquet.  I think I only shot it a dozen times and then gave it to my son.  Not much to go on but I think I like the Botech better.

Yeah, topics go in waves around here.  Bow hunting will slow down, along with other hunting and Ice fishing and Pout fest threads will be very active.  Then once the ice starts melting, its summer hunting scouting and Open water fishing.   :happy1:

But, there are alot of 'year round' hunters around here, so the conversation keeps-a-rollin'.  I wish it would stop snowing so I could start shed hunting, but this snow makes it tough, I am going to have to wait til the snow starts melting  :doah:

I've had a Diamond for two seasons now. Got a new rest before the last season and I absolutely love my setup.

When you get as old as me time goes by pretty fast. I think I have had the Mathews LX for about 4 years. Not sure when they came out. Before that I had a Browning Backdraft and before that I had a Hoyt.

I have had my Reflex Bighorn for around 4yrs, Its nice and quiet and handles great but I need to dump my whisker bisquit for a better rest!!!  Last week a buddy at league brought in his new Carbon Matrix, man that thing is feather light, made mine feel like a ton.  I feel bad that the wife had to get a second job, but I really want one!!!
