How I got, what I got!

 In August of 2009 I purcshased my first bow. It was a old Ben Pearson. Nothing fancy, just somewhere to get started.
Picture
After shooting it for acouple of months, I sold it, and traded up for a Redhead XP 35.(made by Hoyt) I shot this bow up till March of 2010, when I started getting bored with it. I invested money into a new sight, arrow's and new string. The bow was an awesome bow. Only downfall was it didn't have a smooth draw.
Picture
I decided that I wanted little more of a challenge so I traded the Redhead off for a 1968 Bear Tamerlane HC300 and a 1972 Bear Super Kodiak. Both of the Traditional bows was nice. I debated on keeping them, but ended up selling them on eBay to get what I really wanted. I am sure I will regret getting rid of them.
Picture
I probably should of kept my compound and bought a cheap recurve, till I knew if I like it or not. I am not known for makeing the smartest decisions, though.  The way I look out it I can re-sale the GM2 if I don't like shooting it and get a compound. 
With what I have spent on getting started to the point to where I am now, I am up alittle money wise. So if I can keep that up, I will be happy.
