Was there a "till death do you part" section on that video?     :clapper:      :clapper:

If I would have been smarter in my younger years, 40 years ago, and listened to John Schulz, I would still be shooting the bow he recommended to me. Although I was shooting a 35 year old Schulz the other day, the bow I bought after I got a little smarter, but then there were all those bows that I bought after I got dumber again.

My first bow blew up at full draw, so I don't have it any longer. I do hunt with a 38 year old Kodiak Hunter, but I haven't owned it that long.

Ground Hunter,that bow will be here when I'm gone barring any unforeseen mishaps.My youngest son shoots a longbow and I'm sure after I'm gone he'll pick her up and run a few arrows through her and maybe think about the ole' man.I guess it will be 'till death do we part.

Nothing wrong with what you are doinmg, I wish I could do that, I'm sure I would be a better shot. Those Longhunters are good bows, no doubt about it.

I still hunt with a 42 year old 52", 50# Red Wing Hunter that I bought brand new in January 1970.  Hopefully I'll learn how to shoot it well one of these days   :banghead:

I still have my first bow a Person Hunter I bought new in 1967. They in 1974 bought a new Astro II. Used that bow ever since, until this year. In 2011 got a Samick Sage like it alot but still favor the Astro.

I have a '66 Kodiak I bought used about 1992. Killed my first couple of archery deer with it. I have been thinking about how nice it would be to use it to hunt with in 2016 in it's 50th year just to honor the old bow that helped show me the way. Hopefully I will be alive and kicking by then and have the opportunity.

I still have my first bow my dad bought me in 1963. At 35 lbs., it's not legal to hunt with in Arkansas.
My second bow was a 45# Ben Pearson Hunter I got for Christmas in 1968. I still have it also and sometimes use it for bowfishing.

Your question reminded me of an old west quote I once heard,"Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it!"
