My first bows were osage selfbows I made myself.  My first purchased traditional bow was a Martin Mountaineer ML-14, 60# @28.  I still have it in my bow rack.

My big sister gave me a pink fiberglass bow when I was 7.  Draw weight was probably 10 - 12 #.

First real bow was a Pearson Predator in 1973 - 55#.  Stupidly dropped out of archery for several decades, but got back in about 4 years ago.  I still have the Pearson and it's been joined by a few others.
