Mine was a Vintage (1979 or 1980) Darton bow.

Did you guys really look like that in the 80's my dear god I'm glad I don't remember any of them.
Most of us wore shirts, but yeah pretty much! Though I think that hair cut was late 80's. I've got a lot of high school buddies that don't remember them either. Though that has more to do with what was in their pipe during those years. I remember the hot looking girlfriend leaving me for some dude because he looked like the dreamy David Bowie. That's a Dude?...Really?!!
70's were even cooler with the fo-silk shirts, big hair and bell bottoms. I might even have a "Welcome Back Kotter" lunch box and a "Sweathogs" sweatshirt stored away somewhere. To this day I can not see John Travolta without hearing "Up your nose with a rubber hose" ringing in my head. Juan Luis Pedro Felipo de Huevos Epstein is still to this day the best screen name ever. I still try to use the phrases "I got a note!" and "Signed, 'Epstein's Mother" regularly.
Back then Lacy/Olympia had the greatest hunting and fishing store ever put on this earth. Herter's was located behind the landfill not far from where the Cabela's is now. Got my first compound bow there. Think it was called the Herter's Blacktail Hunter. Had about a half mile of steel cable and at least a dozen wheels on it. Rattled like a paint shaker, but it killed a lot of deer, couple bear and an elk before I loaned it to someone never to see it again.
Back then we quit fueling the rambler up with gas at the local Mobil station because they jumped the price from 32 cents to 43 cents a gallon while we were at church. I remember my father having a talk with the station manager asking him how he expected us to afford that much for fuel and feed three growing boys! He changed jobs where he got a company car because he did not think we could make it if he had to pay that much to get back and forth to work.
The other thing I remember from those days were the folks dropping us off at the movie theater to see "Jaws". They gave each of us boys one dollar. That got us into the movie, with a bag of popcorn and a soda with change left over.
Those were good days back then, weren't they?

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.

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! :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike: :chuckle: :chuckle:
But we did have WASP broadheads back then so Bowhunter45 would have been ok. :chuckle:

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).
