Shoot a Mathews Creed XS, bought it new a little over 3 years ago and can't say enough good things about it. Only thing I plan on changing is the sights and figuring out what I did wrong on my drop away. I recently sold my backup bow, Switchback XT, I'm a lefty and had a friend who is also a lefty and wanted to start but with used equipment so I parted ways with the old bow. I don't have any plans on getting a new bow, but I wouldn't pass on a solid lefty used rig as a backup.

I'm shooting a Mathews that I got about when this thread was first started. Love the bow and see no real need to upgrade in the near future. Bowhunting is primarily a freezer filling venture between waterfowl hunting in the fall anyways.

2014 Hoyt charger, couldn't justify the spider when I bought this for 400 less they were almost identical. I love it.

That's how I feel about my Epix. It's half the price of a Carbon Air and only shot 2 FPS less on average.

I carry a custom longbow from 1988. That stick shoots better now than it did the day it was made.

I have a Parker Hunter Mag that was new when I bought it about 7 years ago. It does what I need.

2012 Bear Motive 6, 70# limbs.
It took a while for me to figure it out, I enjoy it now but it is not terribly forgiving with a 6" brace height.

Parker Buck Hunter, I think from 2005? New string this year, looking at upgrading the rest and sight from the $20 specials I currently have. Also joined a league to put me around better archers than myself.
Adjusted my form, shooting 4" groups at 40 as of Sunday.

I have a Hoyt Mystic Rebel, it think? I bought it in about 1997 and I've shot probably a dozen deer with it over the years. It's a classic for sure
