[Alaska at heart]

I drive a 2003 Jeep and shoot a 2023 Athens Vista 35. I'm sure if I went to a dealer and drove some new Jeeps, that I could easily talk myself into one....with several years of payments as part of the process. Instead, this past March I went to a bow shop and test shot a bunch of top end bows. It wasn't a zen-like experience, "Let the bow choose you"....rather a narrowing down process where the one that checked the most boxes "won".

The nice thing about a new bow is that for the cost of a few new car payments, it was paid off and mine for as long as I enjoy it. Unless you are tight on funds, a new bow isn't a huge expenditure and might put a smile on your face. If not, keep shooting what you have....like I keep driving my old Wrangler.
