Can you guys name one bow the you would like to have back not because of nostalgia, but because it was just a great shooting bow.

I had a martin firecat that was deadly. I would love to have a newer equivalent of the model.

Bowtech Tribute. First compound I really fell in love with. It would be terrible compared to my new bow but I'd still like to have it

PSE Mach flite ll , man that thing was a killer, I hunted with it probably 10-12 yrs , finally gave it to a kid at church about 10 yrs ago , lost contact with young man since but often wonder if it's still killing!

I still have the first bow Hoyt ever gave me, an 05 V-Tech. I killed so many animals with that bow. Also loved my Bowtech Allegiance. Gotta sat, my Bowtech Reign 7 will end up being one I can't get rid of.

I was fortunate enough to have gotten one of the first New Breed bows ever made (or so I heard). That thing was a sho nuff tack driver!

I don't ever see myself getting rid of my Mathews LX. I bought it new in 2004 and it shoots great and I hate losing my on deals.

Does a hoyt nitrum turbo count? Other than a big Jim 3pc longbow, that's about the only one I can think of that I want back. I've had countless bows over 25 years and it's hard to remember them all. I can't seem to keep one long.

Can't remember the name brand but had CHEETAH on the limbs. Killed my first deer with that bow in 1984, no sights, shot three under, A compound bow with a wood riser. That bow was pretty smooth.

Not my favorite bow, but I still have the first bow my father got for me when I was 10, a Bear Whitetail Hunter. I keep it in shooting condition.
