It's an old Bear 1 that my Dad bought me roughly 15 years ago. Having my Mom send it to me and hope I can still use it. My plan is to have the string replaced, over draw put in, new arrows and tips. Don't wanna spend to much into it cause eventually I wanna by one of the new PSE Madness bows. Just can't make up my mind on the Madness, XL or XS.

Very nice, I will have to think about it. I am flying back to NY in Nov. for 2 weeks to do some hunting. Don't know if I will be able to afford that bow this year.

I hope NY hunting looks better then last year. And of course I tried having my Mom send my bow, what does she do sends my Dad's that is from the 70's that I can't even pull back all the way cause it's to small. Hopefully she will look harder to find mine.

haha, ya, man that was while back i need to get something else on video with the bow more recent.
I'm going to Missouri for a week of bow hunting Whitetail and Turkey. I'm taking every camera I own, so hopefully we'll get some good footage. When i get back i'll put a video together of the trip.

BTW - I have been wanting to do this for some time now and i think i have got some things lined out for it, but who would be interested in a Christian Hunting Show? Mostly bow hunting, we'd spotlight some other types of hunting, hogs with dogs and then some varmint hunting, etc.. anyway, I'm going to put some promo stuff together next couple months, and i'll put some samples up.

good camera, great video quality, one major downfall for me and hunting is there is no mic input for the gs320, so your stuck with the built in mic which isn't the greatest when your hunter is whispering to the camera or there's some wind noise going on. But you really will love the quality of the video you get from that one.

Wish I had me a good bow but the only bow I have ever shot had a rubber stopper on the end of the arrow lol. I am a lefty and all of my friends that have bows are right handed. Heck if I tried to shoot a right handed bow, the ones behind me would have to watch out lol.

Yes that is also what I've heard about the no exturnal mic. I'll be bow hunting from a enclosed bow blind so that is a big + for cutting down on the wind noise.
