    and... how long will you have it before you get a new one?

    I just got my Creed in september, its going to be a while before I get a new one. Probably at least 3-4 years. And its gonna have to be something that blows my socks off, because I love this bow.

    I've had my DXT since 07. I have kept looking at the new ones but the specs in the solocams haven't changed very much, and I shoot mine very well. Not much reason to pickup a new one...besides just wanting one. I do like the creed XS and may pick that up this spring. If not maybe next year.

    Bought my hoyt charger last march and love it im not big on buyong bows all the time i know that this bow is a highly top brand and i got a good price on it. Im not one to go spemd 1000 dollars on a bow when i know i got one that is a good brand and will last me a long time whats so muxh different about them lol mine kills deer perfectly fine why spend 1000 dollars on a bow just cuz u think it looks nice. Its just another bow lol ill probaly keep ine for at least 5+ years or until i have another reason to get a new one. I love hunting but i have more stuff in life that i can put money towards to then buying new bows all the time lol

    When I bought my Hoyt Vectrix in 2007 I said to myself "I finally found a bow that feels right" and I have no reason to switch up any time soon. I've killed 12 deer with it so far. The newer bows really haven't changed much, other than looks.

    Got my Mathews Chill a week after I returned home from military service and I'll be hoping to hang on to it for awhile because I just had shoulder surgery so I need to shoot it atleast another year or so.

    Mine is a 09. Got it on 2010 barely shot. Will keep it another year or two longer. Unless the love doesn't fade.

    I bought my Bear in July 2013. I'm about 4 years out from replacing it as my main bow. I'm not sure where I'll look next.

    My first real bow was Bear whitetail hunter II and shot it for almost 10 years, then I got a Mathews Legacy in 2003 and shot it for 7 years. In 2010 got my Bowtech Destroyer 350 and this will be my 4th season with that. So when I find a bow that I like I hold on to it, then when technology gets better I upgrade.
