Attaboy slaw. Someone kept one of those old thingamajigs.

I can remember the 1st time I ever saw one of those and wondered who the heck would buy and hunt with one of those stange looking contraptions.

My first bow was a 45# Bear recurve.

Got my first one back in 1996. In 1995 I started gun hunting, and the next year we decided to go out and get a couple bows and try that out. He never really got into it, and with sports and stuff I rarely shot and hunted maybe a handful of times with it. Also the fact that I lived in a trailor park made it tough to find places to shoot, I had a coupld friends who hunted so I would occasionally shoot over their houses. I was never really that good and would only shoot out to about 15 yards. It was a golden eagle of golden something type bow, can't really remember, we still have em one of em, the other I gave to a friend who was interested in getting into bow hunting, told him to take it, set it up and come over and shoot anytime, and if/when he decides to upgrade then to take all his stuff off and give it back.
After high school, I started getting really into it. I got a temp. job working for GM for the summer, was making good money and decided it was time to upgrade since I was a lot more into it, so I went to the shop and bought a mathews SQ2

talk about a big difference in the cam and wheel

My first hunting bow was a Buckmaster BTR32 from Walmart. My first trophy taken was a red fox at about 23 yards, with that bow. My first bow ever was a youth recurve, but I don't know what brand it was.

My first bow was a Chinook. I paid $56 dollors for it when I was eleven. I save my $2 a week allowance for a long time to get that!! I think it went from 30 to 45#.

Had a Bear Whitetail II, then stepped up to a Darton Viper, then on to a Mathews FX.........now have a Bowtech Allegiance.

Ben Pearson recurve......I don't remember the model.

No I have to take that back. My very first bow was a hickory long-bow that I carved out of a 2" diameter hickory sapling. I believe the string might have been baling twine, and the arrows were custom-selected, as straight as I could find, un-fletched willow limbs. I was 11 at the time. Actually, the thing shot pretty darn good.

Ditto the Bear Whitetail II, then I upgraded to a Browning X-cellerator Plus. Gave the Bear away to a kid wanting to get into archery a few years ago, just got the Browning back from another kid I'd "given" it to several years ago, and he got a new bow and felt it only right to return it. Wow, have we come a long way since then. I now have a Hoyt Trykon XL, and it's lightyears advanced past that old stuff.

my first bow was a high country something or the other, come to think about it, i actually found out it was a high country about four years later when the paint that was on it started flaking off
