    I don't get attached to them. I am just to cheap to replace them more than every decade.

    Yup. I've still got 4 years or so left on my current bow.

    I've been shooting for 6 years and have had 4. I would still have my blaze because I loved it but most of us already know what happened to that one and its long gone. Actually I still miss it but that could be because $800 including the accessories walked away.

    It would be funny if he didn't kill anything with it :lol:. I know a few people who would name their bow "The Slayer" and not shoot a thing.

    Not attached to mine - but I think that's because I know what one I want just cant seem to justify the price!

    I'm proud of my bow. It's unique due the Jennings brand name and the story about how I came to acquire a brand new bow from a company that hasn't been around for years.

    However, if I had the cash in hand, and there was something available that was a significant improvement worth spending said cash on, I wouldn't think twice about replacing replacing it.

    My Mathews z7x has quite a few hundred inches of horn on it and 5 does. It was a christmas gift from my wife and I really do love how it shoots. I had a pretty significant chubby for the new halon, but I'm just too attached to the z7x to let it go

    I am attached to my Z7 Magnum and I will have that bow until I leave this earth. I think the Z7 Series is Mathews best bows to this date. I have owned many Mathews bows and I will own many more I am sure, but my Z7 Magnum is special to me!
