| Not many for me to remember (yet!) 1st Quicks Clubmaster (or something like that). Wooden riser, beautiful black-faced screw-in wooden-core limbs. Gave it to my brother-in-law as he had expressed an interest in archery, and slightly regretting having done so (especially since he's stashed it in the loft and hasn't taken up archery so far...) 2nd Hoyt GM Bought second-hand from a bloke down in Dorset along with a load of other kit, as the bloke was giving up to go carriage driving with his wife (perhaps one of you knows him?!). Had an impressive sprayed-on metallic green paint job, which also matched the long-rod. Now sold on to another member of our club up here... 3rd Hoyt Aerotec (current) An ebay special for a bargain price. Noticeably heavier than the GM, but got used to it fairly quickly. Kept with the green colour scheme as well, although in GNAS terms, it's probably the 'wrong shade'! I've considered a replacement riser, but am a bit loathed to start the tuning process all over again, having gotten it (almost) right with the Aerotec.
