Good to see another SQ32...
I have others but I love my Ole Bear 29DL @ 63 DW Spott Hogg five pin sights, Octane quiver, Trophy Taker arrow rest, use Carbon Express 320 spine with 220 gn Muzzy Phantom (total arrow weight is 543 gns, and a carrying case that says "Red Neck and Proud of it" It's been doing the job for years so the only thing I change is my strings and cables as needed.

Now those insanity's are nice. I've already been planning on a new bow for next year and I have it narrowed down to the Insanity, Destroyer, Helim, or an Elite Answer.

You've no reason at all to be embarrassed, that's a fine bow. I have a few that are much older than that. My buddy is still shooting and hunting with my first compound bow: a 1987 Jennings Super T-Star. I was still shooting it up until about 2 years ago when I lucked into the Elite I have now. I've got a couple of old Bear recurves that are older than I am, and they still shoot good too. My Dad is still shooting a Pro Line that he bought around 1990, and my brother is shooting a PSE from about that time too.

As long as you still get that kid-like smile when you shoot, and are putting them in the 10 ring, keep right on shooting that bow!
