    2010 Quest Heat that i bought used last year. It's a sweet bow. I've yet to pull or shoot anything that I like better! Looking to get a good traditional bow setup here in the next few months.

    Windwalker Takedown Recurve, 18 years old this year. I've had 18 great years with this bow but It's time to let old faithful rest and replace It. In December I received a Schafer Silvertip Takedown Recurve that I ordered last April. Hopefully I get 20 years out of that recurve.

    My Golden Eagle Hawk is about 17-18 years old and I still love shooting it. It is accurate and has killed it's fair share of deer over the years. The crazy thing is that it has the original string. I will be relacing the string this offseason though.

    2008 Elite GT500. Have only shot one bow that would replace it for me, but mama needs to get a job before that happens!
