    I have a 2009 Bowtech SWAT in my car, I've had it for around 3 years hoping to unload it tonight. I bought a left over 2013 Elite Answer about a month ago.

    I just sold one for less:( quite a bit less
    Actually though with all the extras it probably is a pretty good deal, if you like everything that is included and won't be replacing half of it..

    I feel like I'm driving a Model A Ford when these posts come up.

    I'm still shooting my 2003 Mathews LX. I look every year at buying a new bow. Most of them are very nice. I've yet to shoot one that was $1,000 nicer than mine. Maybe I'm just a cheap SOB. ;)

    I got my Golden Eagle Hawk about 17 years ago or so. It still has the original string! I do plan on replacing that this summer though. It isnt as fancy as the bows that are on the market now, but it has never let me down and has taken its fair share of deer over the years. I have no plans for buying a new bow for myself, but I am looking at gettting a Diamond Infinite Edge for my son so he can start bow hunting with me next year.

    2011 PSE Stinger HP on my 18th birthday. Love this bow to death and wouldn't trade it for anything. Just put a new Axcel Armortech-HD Pro sight on as well as new strings and cables from 60X Custom Strings!

    My next bow probably won't come for a good while. Just don't have the funds and I love my PSE way to much.

    2009 Bear Lights Out, look at new bows every year and they are very nice, but can't see spending $800-$1000 when the bow I have now drops the whitetails just fine.

    I don't have my first two bows but I do have my JVA Astro from '87. ...and a dozen or so bows since then. :D My 'newest' bows are an '08 Bowtech Equalizer, an '09 Oneida Osprey and a '10 TNT Revolution.

    I've sold all my old bows (sold my 08 Diamond Marquis tonight), but I refuse to let go of my 2007 Bowtech Commander and my longbow.

    I have a Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo on order.

    Reezen 7.0 for 4 years I think. Will have it until I'm either taking a dirt nap or it breaks.

    I've had my Bowtech Captain for 5yrs and I'm not planning on changing as long as I can shoot it well. As old as I'm getting, my next new bow may be a crossbow.

    Blessings..........Pastorjim
