    I shoot a Hoyt Ultratec 2005 model. I bought it 2nd hand in 2006 and shoot 1000s of arrows a year, and also hunt. Still shoots 286fps at 64#, 31.5" draw.

    Bought a used PSE Mach"?" around 2004, have averaged 2 deer a year and it serves my purpose. But after hitting a few bucks that the arrow didnt pass through and didnt harvest, my boy wants to have an "intervention" and make me get a new bow!

    11 months with my Z7X. 2 does, 1 buck, and hopefully a couple more antlerless tags filled with her before the years end. I plan on shooting this bow until Mathews makes one thats better, which I'm hoping isnt very soon because I love my extreme.

    Legend!

    I've been using my 08 Ross cardiac for 4 years now, won the GTG shoot with it and 6 deer. Don't see myself getting rid of it until something breaks.

    Yes! Them old bows still get it done!

    2 years with my Bowtech Guardian ... perfect track record so far...

    Drenalin before that ... till it was stolen....

    I love both bows ... but if our financial goals are met like we think they will be by March, I will be looking for a new one and passing this on to,Andrew

    I am on month 2 with the new Helim so far. No deer yet but that will change soon! They Hoyt will last a long time. I still have my Vectrix and it is still a great bow. Only reason I am selling it is because I got the new one but it shoots great.

    Had my Bear Lights Out for 5 years now, and have shot 17 deer and 5 gobblers with it so far. I'd like to get a new bow, but it's definitely not a priority. I got passthroughs at 35 yards on does back when I was shooting Rages. Now I have to yank my arrows out of the dirt with my Slick Trick Magnums :tu:

    I've had my Quest Heat for about 3 months now and have already killed 2 deer with it. Both pass throughs. I love this bow!
