I've got Dad's old Martin bow here at my house. When I started shooting a bow a few years ago I was told they hadn't made that magnesium riser in over 25 years, so it's probably well over 30 years old by now. I think it's an Eagle Magnum, but don't remember for sure. Took my first archery deer with it the first season I bow-hunted.
The Martin was an upgrade for Dad when he bought it- he's still got his original Bear Whitetail II hanging in his garage.
I've also got a pretty old Ben Pearson longbow here at home that was either Dad's or his brother's. Haven't shot it much though....

I have an old Hoyt(with an apple) in the attic. Wooden limbs w/ black glass I think. I did kill a couple critters with it a long long while ago with a string release and no sights. It doesn't have any markings/paper on it so I don't know the poundage or model.

The thing I bought actually had a coated steel bowstring.I recall that one.. The "continous cable"... It didn't sell well at all. No wonder it was super slow... |

My oldest bow is an Indian Mohawk (recurve) circa 1968. 52", 45# @28" draw. My first bow and the only bow that I've owned that I did not kill a deer with.
Second oldest is a Silver Anniversary Jenning Model T circa 1978.
