How often do you buy a new bow?

[Nomad]

We all hunt differently, I like my Elite that I bought from  Jeremy , I like it pretty much the same way I like my hammer or snow shovel ,they do a job . The Elite though I can draw unlike my old bow . That said I don’t think I’ve been at full draw on a deer over ten seconds and generally much less ,draw ,pin on target fire .

Now in, practice my buddy and I used to hold at full draw for a timed minute before firing just for sh!ts and giggles, that was with my old Reflex, can’t tell you the let off though .

Maybe I'm wrong but if the bow has a draw weight of 71.4# - 91.28% = 6.22# the weight of the bow. I'm impressed. I'm going to have to check these Elite's out

Any NYer should at least shoot an Elite when choosing a bow, theyre made in NY. I shoot Stan releases for the same reason, that and theyre the best IMHO

I own a stan release ,it stays in the cup holder of my car for me to click when I'm driving.

Mathews MQ1 in 2001 then the Helium in 2011 and the Elite Ritual a couple years ago.  Love the let-off, valley has a bit of a high point otherwise great shooting bow.

I wouldn’t trust a Stan release as far as I could throw it .... This one time I seen one fly about 30 ft lol

I can't ! Somebody has to shift gears ,you would think they would invent a car by now that shifts for you.

I bought my bow new in 2012.  I hope to get a solid 10-12 years out of it before I look into any new.

Honestly though, the prices of new bows is crazy...I paid $1200 fully loaded back in 2012.  I shutter some when I price out a set up rig in 2020.

I think I’ve shot just about every elite model made and there’s been something about every one of them that’s kept me from buying one. I have zero brand loyalty and buy the bow I like best, I have owned just about every manufacturer but have yet to own an elite, who knows maybe this year it will be an elite. I’ll know in a couple months when the ice is gone and mud season aka bow shopping season arrives.

I know what I said before about being content with my current setup, but I took a peak at the AT site just to see what's on there.. hmmmm.... There are quite a few on here that caught my eye.. the only problem is that you can't test a 2 or 3 year old model prior to buying..

Mathews Switchback XT in 2005

Mathews Monster MR5 in 2012/13 ? 

Mathews Triax 2018 (supposedly 2019 model) won at white tail banquet, highest bid

Each setup has its own, nothing swapped

I’ve got the Ritual 35 all dialed in, love it! Thanks Moog!
