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

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.

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.

I agree but being a good turkey Hunter is like being a phone sex operator, it doesn't matter what you look like as long as you sound sexy. grin
