    I use my 2008 Mathews Drenalin. It shoots great and kills game just fine. Although I do replace the strings every 3-4 years, but its still cheaper than buying a new bow.

    I see in the responses above, I'm not the only one that still has a Drenalin!

      I shoot a compound finger bow with a finger tab, a 2011 Hoyt Vantage LTD. Can't buy a new one, they stopped making them after the Tribute. The challenge is buying back-up parts so if something breaks, I can keep it on the road, like the cars in Cuba. I found some replacement 50-60 lb. limbs, so now just need some #3 Accuwheels and modules, which Hoyt doesn't make anymore either, according to my dealer. After a stroke, heart surgery, and cataract surgery, at 66 I qualified for Hagerman last year with it. Triggers don't work for me since the feeling in my right hand has diminshed.

                I bought the Halon in 2017 used off eBay. Love this bow.

                    Still hunting with my 2007 Bear Elements. Went to buy a bow last year, tried several out...ended up buying my son a new bow instead. My bow still feels comfortable so I'm good.

                          I buy one every 2 years usually. I keep my creed for back up and usually shoot whatever I have at the time. Right now it’s the VXR.... has the triax last year. Almost pulled the trigger on the new elite Kure. Was a very tough decision, might still try and fit it in somehow

                            2015 Bowtech Prodigy... I dont see how another bow could help me hunt any better. I liked my bear before that, just outgrew it

                              I have been bow hunting for 36 years and I think I am on my 4th bow. Bear WT II, an Alpine bow sold by cabelas, a switchback and now a 8-9 year old DXT that shoots better than me.

                              To me it’s a lot like golf....it’s not about the clubs it’s more about the practice. Especially with any modern bow.

                                20 years with my bow until I bought a Z3 three years ago. Just bought a VXR 2 months ago. Planning on having this one for awhile.
