.....PSE Boss Impact ll,

.....and some sought of a Matthews

....don't remember much else as it was 100 years ago....Since I am a lefty in my right mind....

The Boss Impact ll was donated to a member of the forum whom I don't see here anymore.

.....and the Matthews is currently used by my middle son who is also a lefty.

My first bow was a Martin Lynx compound that only had about 15% let off :sick:
After about 20 years I gave it away and bought a Martin Jaguar Magnum.. it was only about 29" axle to axle but not as accurate as the Lynx.
5 years ago I bought my first crossbow (Matrix 310) and then ended up giving my compound bow to a member here for his son.
I will be purchasing a BD330 shortly after I retire. :mrgreen:

I still have my Hoyt Vulcan and Ultratech compounds which were the last 2 I bought. I owned a PSE, Jennings and a Darton prior to the Hoyts. I have several recurve but the only ones I shoot at all are my Hoyt Gamemaster and Martin Hunter.

Well, I have owned a few. and have pics. of some. Probably have pics. of all of them somewhere. :lol:
Browning Bushmaster
PSE Firestorm
Mathews Drenalin
Diamond Outlaw I think it was
Hoyt Maxxis 32
PSE Vendetta
Hoyt Turbo Hawk
Hoyt Vector 32
PSE Brute X
Hoyt Spyder 34
Still have the old Browning from the early, to mid 80's & the PSE Brute X & Hoyt Spyder 34
My favorite of all was my 70# Turbo Hawk. When the day came that my shoulder would no longer draw it comfortably, I felt like I had to give up something magic. She is the last pic.
Memories! :thumbup:
