Why do you like/shoot the bow you have?  Just curious.

Hoyt  recurve @58lbs. Only bow I've ever owned. Shot it so many times now it's wicked lethal. Simple, and cheap since I learned you can reload your arrows😆

Matthews Switchback, the original from 2005.

It's hard to go away from it.  I know there are better options, but it works.  Single cam makes it just about bombproof from a tuning standpoint and I found an arrow/BH combination that flat lays the hammer down.

If I hunted archery every year I would upgrade, but I only carry it when I draw Multi-Season so its not every year.
If you aint hunting, you aint livin'

Elite Archery Option 7, great shooting bow. I was just shooting in my backyard on Monday. I like to shoot it because it is very forgiving, quite, and vibration is low. Before that, I shot a 2006 Martin Bengal. Archery is my therapy.  :)
