I would like to hear about how old the bows are that you regularly use.

 Post pictures if you have some.

I would like to see what bows have lasted the test of time.

My wife prefers her 55 K special.

No good pictures at present.

Bingham Project longbow bought in 1979 or close thereabouts. 32+/- years old

Bear Super Grizzly bought new in 1981. I paid $45 for it from a salvage place that bought insurance claims items from wrecked TT trucks.

These two bows are my most shot bows nowadays.

The two I shoot the most are my Pearson Mercury Maurader TD and my Wing Thunderbird both 69's. I'll get some pics. tomorrow.

Took a deer last week with my 45 year old 1966 Browning Explorer.

 

 

1970 bear grizzly.......41 years old.

Love the arrows with that Browning....

Thanky.  Douglas fir I tapered myself with a scraper plane and with pecan and yellow leather stain.  Minwax polyurethane wiped on with a rag and then the cresting is Sharpie permanent markets and Pilot metallic ink pens.  Duco the feather fletching and fire away!

A 1966 Pearson Hunter, I bought new in 1967. Still shoot and enjoy it.

I'm shooting a brand new Bear TD this year.  Still trying to get it bloody.

my great plains and black widow were both made in 2008.

My yew longbow is a little over 300 years old.





Sorry, just couldn't resist. The English yew tree began growing 300 years ago. At that time, it just didn't know it was going to be a longbow. Does that count for being an old bow?

Careful - the carbon fiber guys are going to come back with 10 billion years old and forged in the furnace of a long dead super nova.    

Had a 1989 Hoyt come apart on me 2 weeks ago, but my 73-75 Kodiak Magnum is still going strong.

I checked with Black Widow on mine once and I think it is a '94 model.  I got is used.

Im shooting my new to me Schafer Silvertip that my dad ordered in '98 and got it at the beginning of '99(I was 4)that he gave me this previous christmas.

 
Deer my dad got with it in '07
