I'm still shooting a 20 year old Golden Eagle compound. 60 lbs draw with 65% let off, the old Washington state let off limit. I keep up with my buddy and his brand new brand name bow at the archery walk through at Tacoma Sportsmans club. Its also 100 times quieter than the new bows and has a super smooth draw. Only draw back to my bow is that only a few shops in the state still replace the strings for it! I will say though... it has killed a lot of blacktails. I've killed a deer with it and turned around and my father killed a deer the same year with it many times. If I was getting a new bow it would be a bear arena 34 or one of the newer bear archery choices. For the time being though, I will keep her shooting and cleaned and she will keep putting venison in the freezer!
