Question on why do people buy a new bow every year?

[boneaddict]

and in Polarbears case......why does a guy need so many boats.

It's kind of like kids in a candy shop.  I like the new toys.  If you use them one year and flip just the bow, you aren't really out to much money.  If you flip the entire set up, it will cost you.  I usually buy a new one each season, the only bad thing with the new one is that it is so fast I can't see the arrow fly.  This is where it would be important to have a illuma nock if the state allowed it.  You could see the flight of the arrow.
I get used to it quick as I shoot it almost daily.  There are still those, that only start practiciing a few weeks before season or go out a couple times.  I do the same with rifles.  I still have my original Rem. Mod. 700 in 30-06, but I don't shoot it.  I buy a new rifle every year for some reason.  Last season I picked up the Weatherby .270 Wthy Mag Mark V.  Outfitted it with a Zeiss 4.5-14 with z800 reticle.  This is what I enjoy spending my money on.  Bows, decoys and guns.

I have been hunting with a Switchback XT for I think 6 years now. I am ready to get a new one that shoots a little faster but probably will have to skip it again this year. I shoot it well and it will kill just as good as any bow, I just want a little more speed, this bow is pretty slow so if I guess yardage wrong by 5 yards it could be the difference between killing and wounding an animal, I realize a faster bow will still be the same just slightly less drop than my slow XT

cause they get more and more like rifles

Cuz he who dies with the most toys wins.

Hey now, you can never have too many boats! I only have 4 but need at least 2 more.     They all have a special purpose.

[boneaddict]

If I had a choice between having seven wives or seven boats, I know which one I'd choose.   

[PolarBear]

   If it makes you feel better I have the biggest and smallest up for sale and posiibly the Skeeter.  Thinking about going down to one or 2 multi purpose boats.   7 wives would be just as much heartache, financial strain and frustration as 7 boats!

Correction:
He who dies with the most toys is dead, but his wife has one hell of a garage sale....

I know I have to have the best of everything, and that if I don't I will never be a cool hunter like the guys on the outdoor network Its not about the meat its about the antlers and how it will look cool on my living room wall

A boat = a hole that you thow $$$ at. the bigger the hole the more cash required to plug it so that it stays afloat!  My family has a long history of boat ownership...

Oh I almost forgot, the more flare I have on my truck makes me a better hunter as well

This is why I get a new bow every other year because I can because I enjoy it.  I'm shooting almost every weekend now that 3-ds have started again.  My wife shoots my 4 year old daughter shoots.  We don't go on vacations are vacation is two weeks in elk camp every year.  New bows don't make me a better hunter or shooter I simply enjoy shooting them.

do you go through new cables and strings every year? 

[D-Rock425]

Yeah I replace my strings about once a year.
