It's funny you posted this. I had actually been in the market for a new bow, but I think you might have talked me out of it. I've had the same PSE stinger since I was 15 years old. My dad gave it to me for my birthday that year and it's the only bow I've ever owned. I turn 27 in November, and it has see the woods with me every fall. I keep telling myself its time for an upgrade, but then again I've never shot a single deer with it that the arrow didn't pass all the way through. So I don't guess I've lost any velocity.
