There is something to be said for familiarity with a bow... or a rifle or any other tool. If there is no tangible advantage to purchase a new bow or if the advantages are slim I say stay with the bow as it is proven. I actually believe it is better to learn how to use something to it's fullest potential and not change unless the item is unsafe or nearing its life cycle end.

As I get older I find myself influenced to a lesser degree by advertising and the need for the latest and greatest. I was not of this mindset when I was younger and accumulated some pretty nice stuff-but none of this "stuff" made me better woodsman or hunter. In fact probably just the opposite.
