Not sure how old my bow is, I shot an elk with it in 2004, it's a hoyt ultra-tec with versa cam.

I've browsed new bows and not fell in love, will try again this year. Last year my wife bought a new bow, she got a new PSE and it's amazing how quiet and fast that bow is. She shoots it better than she's shot any of her others.

The one thing I've noticed is I couldn't get a fall away rest to work well consistently on my older bow, not sure why. Went back to my older style but it has a spring inside it to pop the rest back up after the shot, I am worried about the day that that OLD spring just gives up.
