I'm currently learning the lease process and public hunting in Texas.  A lot of you have shared your knowledge of these processes to help me understand.  I've come to the conclusion that I'm only one-dimensional using just rifles.  I realized how  much I used to enjoy bowhunting and I can increase my hunting opportunities with a bow.  The bow I have now is a 1989 Golden Eagle Pro Turbo w/ a 30" draw length and 55-70# draw weight.  I used this when I was 16 and I was wondering if it was worth restoring.  I can no longer pull it back and I'm stronger now at 30 than at 16.  I did screw my shoulder up in the Army, but I don't think its that.  I managed to pull it back once b/c people were watching.  I've tried setting it down w/ an allen wrench, but it feels the same.  Honestly I don't want it to come apart b/c my lack of knowledge.  It creaks and makes all kinds of noises in my attempt to pull it back.  I don't have $400+ for a new bow.  I think my best option is to take it to a bow shop, but I was hoping some of you could share your expertise.  It appears to be in pretty good shape, but I don't know.  I'm assuming its like a car or truck that is shiny and new looking, but runs like a turd.  We are having a garage sale tomorrow so maybe I should include it.  What should I do?
