Cleaning up my end of season crap and realized as expensive as some things are for hunting anymore, that there are some things very cost effective that seldom need replaced.
-Bowstring wax... pretty sure I've had this same tube for 30 years! What a bargain
-Solid fixed Broadheads. The more recent I've used are the 3 blade Hellraisers with my recurve. Same 3 for at least 8 years now. Shot numerous deer and just resharpen and good to go again. Shot a doe, then couple wks later with same blade, took buck shot went thru near thin edge of shoulder and buried into the opposite shoulder. Took some effort to dislodge,but resharpened and back on the bow again. Graphite arrows are a close second to perpetual.
-Carbon scentlock under garment. Not sure it really works. Not sure it can wear out.
-My old treebark camaflouge coveralls. Still good but damn dryer has shrunk them too tight too wear anymore after 30+? years.
-My first recurve, at 50$ used. Still shoots its original cedar arrows pretty good.
So see, we don't need to replace EVERYTHING each year. We are lucky.
Any others????
