    Got my Hoyt V-Tec in 2005, paid nearly a grand for it and all the accessories! Don't think I will ever replace it.

    Just sold my '08 Bowtech Allegiance and I am already thinking I made a mistake.......best bow I ever owned. Still have my '05 Bowtech Patriot, but my son shoots it now and I can't handle 70 lbs. anymore.

    This week I am ordering/buying either a Hoyt Factor 34, Factor Turbo, Matthews Chill, or Bowtech Carbon Overdrive and whatever it is may well be the last compound I buy.

    My bow is about 7 years old. No plans to change.

    This will be my third year with my current bow, as long as it keeps shooting as good and smooth as it has been, im gunna be using it. Prior to my CE i had an alpha max. I should have held on to that bow.. :throw:

    My bow turned 3 this year. I've shot a few lately that have made me WANT to switch, but I suppose when my Z7X stops killing deer then I'll NEED to switch. I don't see that happening anytime soon

    2 years now. Sad Mathews stopped making it, was going to buy a new one. But nothing wrong with it really, so Mathews lost out not me lol

    Bought both in Oct 2013: Matthews Jewel compound and a Ten Point Titan Extreme crossbow. Had a Hoyt Vixcen compound that I bought in Oct also, but one of my granddaughters has it now, that's why I got the Matthews (she is going to some 3-D tourn shoots with me and needed a bow). These were retirement gifts to myself. Will be a while before I buy another one. No problem hunting with either. Love them.

    Have a 2008 Diamond Black Ice. I'm planning to get a new bow in the next few weeks. I think I have it narrowed down to either Bowtech Experience or Elite Energy 32.
