But as to “what has happened to them”…. They’re good bows that have lousy resale value. Most of the people that have them and consider selling them see what they go for and decide to just keep them as backups or give them to a friend….

PSE bows I have shot and still have.

Jet Flight Express
Nova
Rouge X
Thunderbolt
Bow Madness

Those are just the ones in my shop that I see off the top of my head. Resale value is poor on bows. So I just keep them. Plus being a lefty, limits sales. They all still shoot fine, but I no longer hunt with any of these bows.
 
Still have my first compound i ever bought brand new, 1986 Jet Flite Express W/ all the trimmings, pse overdraw, quiver,site all pse...pse carrol,mach 5, some others....plus the dominators ones in my avatar.....

What happens to ALL the old bows? Pawnshops? Landfills? Sheds? Closets? Craigslist? Archery shop walls? IDK. They go where all obsolete stuff goes in time I guess.
 
a lot of people are probably keeping them. I have a Full Throttle and I have no intentions of getting rid of it.
Picked up a Full Throttle from the classifieds and gave it a home with my Omen frankenbow. I don't sell any of my bows, the collection just keeps growing.

Still have my Carroll Marauder 93, and my Dominator still looks brand new 96 model with the new Maxis cams, I'm waiting on a string for it, I still deer hunt with it
 
Who knows. You never see any of the PSE Laser or Laser Magnum bows either. I have only heard of a couple of people that have one.
Just picked up a old PSE Laser at goodwill for $3.50. It was half off $7 cause of the color price tag that was on the bow. It's in really great shape too. Even has the quiver still attached. The only thing missing was the white sticker with the specs. I do big brothers & big sisters & recently started introducing my little brother to archery. So this was a great find. I was also able to find several fiberglass bows for him. He's 11, so these were prefect.
 
I’ve got a Bow Madness 3G I’ve had in the classifieds for months for what I thought was really cheap…but I’ve still got it. I wish it went to 31” draw because I’d keep it. Probably just going to give it to a new hunter.

Congratulations on finding the Laser bow. I would love to see a picture and know the specs of it. You can send me a pm if you would like. Mr. Ken
 
There is so many that I had from 2008 to 2015 that I sold away, and years later I still prefer most of the older x-forces and madness bows over the newer bows from all companies, I am on a quest to start collecting the older bows that I loved and got rid of to chase the dragon and the next "best" thing........
