Did you steal that from a bow hunting museam?
Lol, nice kill. Bow technology sure has come a long way since those days. I used to shoot a 97' Martin Bengal
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

My room is a bow museum. Bow technology is over rated. I killed a deer with a 40 year old recurve last year and it died just as dead as the one I shot with a rifle. I just like the old bows and they are cheap because most people give them to me, I have about a dozen, some 50 years old. I have nothing against brand new things but it's cool to shoot the old ones.

I still have a Golden Eagle Carbine Hawk from about '95. It is very short axle to axle, especially back then. I need to drag it out and kill something with it. I'm very limited on how much I get to hunt so I usually grab a rifle.

Nice harvest! And nice bow. I had an old PSE from the late 80's that I learned to shoot on, and I shot it for a long time (with much harassment from my fellow bow hunters!!!). It was very accurate and I sometimes miss that bow. I killed MANY pigs with it, multiple deer and a young bobcat, and all kinds of non-game critters. It shot just as good as my newer (but still older) Mathews does.

Good one, my Bear compound is "old" and the recurve is "older", only 2 bows I own.

I'm inspired now. Gonna go shoot my 1992 PSE this evening.

I killed a doe with a late 60s Ben Pearson Recurve a few years back, the end result is the same but something about shooting the old bows is cool.
tlk- I shot fingers with this one for years but the old plunger rest finally broke so I put two prong Golden Key on it and when drawing with fingers it rolled the string and the arrow wanted to jump off the rest so I found an old realease. It shoots good but lord is it heavy and cold to hold in the mornings.

I have a couple of old Hoyt bows. Pro Hunter and Game getter. Both still do the job, but don't use the Pro much any more. Both bows are from the 90's.

very cool
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.
