    Since the spring of 2013, I plan on shooting it to pieces with no plans of change. So happy I could Explode!

    2 years now. Planning on a minimum of 3 more. Depends partly on how long PSE makes parts for it. I hate for my primary to be so obsolete that I can't order parts should I have an issue. I see no reason to upgrade every year unless your sponsored. Bows hardly change from year to year anyway.

    Bought a Hoyt charger last spring and just ordered the new carbon spyder. I made the mistake of shooting the new bow.

    I started bowhunting in 08. I had 3 different bows between the 08-11 hunting seasons. I traded my Z7 for a Destroyer 340 in spring of 2012 and never looked back. I try all the new bows every year and just can't imagine giving up my 340.

    Final decision is between the faktor turbo, chillR and the rpm 360, shot them again yesterday and am truly stuck, will make a decision next Saturday, dealer has them all in stock and am planning on walking out with one next week

    my first bow was a Parker Side Kick XP had that for two years then I got a 2012 Mission Riot and this year I have a 2014 Mission Blaze but I do not plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. I may buy a new but never replace it just because I think it's to good of a bow for the money.

    The bows I have now:
    My Bear Recurve since 1978.
    First Oneida H250, I got in 2011, my Dad gave it to me, it was my uncles before him I believe it was a mid 80 bow.
    I bought my second Screaming Eagle late 2011.

    Bow2.jpg Bow5.jpg Bow3.jpg I just got a 2013 Ross Crave DRT last year and absolutely love it. I Shot PSE and mathews bows before that normally keeping them for 2-3 years on average. I love my crave so much I am thinking about buying Ross Archery's new bow, the Headhunter! Might have 2 bows for the first time.
