So what are we calling vintage 50's,60's,70's,80's,90's,2000's The only thing vintage I hunt with is hand me down long underwear!

difference in the world, but the Marines don’t have that problem.

lpcjon2, Vintage ? I guess it's all relative to your age. I see you were born in 1969. I bought my first recuvre [Browning Nomad] in 1968. Maybe that makes me vintage...lol!!! Oh yea the Nomad....was 37$ brand new.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

My wife shot this with the first arrow she ever let fly at an animal.  It is a 19?? Bear Panda.  Orange glass on the belly and tan on the back.

I killed this doe 2 years ago with a buddy's early '70s AMF Wing Archery Swift Wing. It's 48 lbs. & she dropped on the spot after a spine shot (once in a great while the luck I get is good).

This is a buck I shot this past season with my 1968 Howatt Monterey. I used it all season and shot 3 more does with it as well. A lot of MoJo in that old bow and one sweet shooter. 62" and 49#@28".

How about a 1960 +or- Howatt Hunter I used (unsuccessfully) last season.  Might give it a run at elk this year as well as mule deer.

I have 50# 1973 Super Kodiak that will see some woods time this year.  I have some really nice bows on the rack, but this thing impresses me every time I shoot it.  I shoot the old olive colored Gamegetters in 1916 with green Bear Razorheads.

Joe Skipp,
That Browning Cobra is one sweet looking bow!  Nice job on the turkey!

Hatrick
Nice buck!  That Maryland country behind you sure looks pretty!
Have a nice day!

I know this is an older thread, but it is a cool thread and I needed to share. This buck fell to my 55lb Super Kodiak. The bow and I are both 1969 models. Real special deer.
   
No hunter should feel guilty for killing a deer that doesnt meet someone else's expectations.

Late Dec 2009. 1970 Kodiak Hunter Cedar arrow

Here is a picture of Brent Bassi and his BQII bear.  He was using a 1969 (I think) Grizzly, Bear arrows with Razorheads and an old Bear quiver.
