Don't be embarrased. That is a great looking bow.

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!
