 I let my buddy use my old bow to get started with bow hunting.  He did great and took 4 deer with it.   He just upgraded and returned it tonight.  I guess old bows still kill pretty damn good.

Except for materials  nothing changes much in 10 years  or so..

So cool you gave your friend a loaner bow, and he was successful with it too!!

I have a 24 year old Mathews MQ-32 that I know will still kill deer!!

i guy i personally know has hunted with the same Mathews bow for a very long time. he's long retired and has 60 or so deer with it by now. several seasons ago the counts was in the 50's. I haven't kept mine. I've basically off loaded many of them to get people into bowhunting.

I wouldn't want my first bow. It was a Hoyt, and very heavy lol.

Lol, I may have had the same one, don't remember what model it was, but I remember picking up my buddies Mathews, and couldn't believe how light it was compared to my Hoyt.

And slow. Heavy letoff, not remotely a smooth draw. Loud. Plagued  by limb problems. I could go on lol still killed alot of deer with it for yrs.
