New compound bows are released by manufacturers every year as they come up with new technological advances that make their bows more powerful, more accurate, more silent or a combination of a couple of these. The temptation is there to ditch the PSE Stinger compound bow that has served me so well for so long and pick up one of the new breed. But then I think, what could I possibly get that I don’t have now. I’ve got a fast, reliable bow that I am comfortable shooting and that I am familiar with and that will serve me just as well for another season.

As long as my old bow remains in tip top working condition and it gets me the results that make me happy then I’ll stay with the tried and trusted. New technology won’t matter to me if I don’t know what I’m missing.
