I'll never forget my first compound

[Webfoot]

My first bow was a Pro Line compound bought in the early 80's.
It is still hanging on the wall where it has been for some 20 plus years.
I'm afraid to touch it for fear it will blow up.
Now days all I shoot are recurves and long bows.

Love it Rad Sav!!! I remember fondly the old Herter's store and always looked forward to the catalog. I think I still have my dad's Herter's dies for a 30-40 Krag.
Loved the old Yard Birds down in Chehalis too! All of the old bent up shotguns. I had an old 1980 Darton, Pendleton shirts, and a Filson coat.

but you never killed anything, right?  because I know from the internet that you HAVE to be shooting 350 FPS with a 2012 carbon wonder-bow, underarmour base layer, wool mid layer, polyester outer shell in Realtree MOST AWESOME camo with scent blocker!

But we did have WASP broadheads back then so Bowhunter45 would have been ok.

Yeah, but the blades all came off in flight back then too.  We just ended up killing things with a long field point.

I remember more pass-throughs with the 175 fps log-sized aluminum arrows and Bear broadheads than we ever see now, though.  That was with one of the first High Country bows that came around (can't remember the name of it now).

My first bow was a Glenn StCharles "Buckskin", a round wheeled Compound made by Martin Archery in mid '80's and signed by Glenn.
