Hope this isn't against forum rules...but all this talk about age makes me think about something...bible says each man is appointed to die....some sooner than others....so where will you spend eternity ? Something to seriously consider....hope to see you in Heaven !   :pray:

I couldn't enjoy living so much -- including my bowhunting -- if I didn't know what would happen to me when I die.  I'll see you there, Nathan!

A little more than "curious" Benjamin, at the end of the poll you created you will have the answer. Wish more young folks preferred Trad. We do keep trying by example!

59 years young and no, I don't shoot any heavier than I did when I was 14.  45# worked fine then and still works great now for the whitetails I hunt.

30 years ago my hunting weight was 90#, now it's half that. I'll be 77 in March.

I started shooting a bow over 70 years ago...when I quit pulling bowstrings it'll be because there's not enough room in them padded box's...     :bigsmyl:

48 til April, been bow hunting deer for 36 yrs. I remember shooting a bear recurve when I was 12. Someone ask my mom when I started shooting, she couldn't remember either. I did string my brothers recurve backwards when I was 5 or 6. You know, it looked like it went that way. It broke and I threw it in the river. LOL I was trying to shoot fish. He never found out.
