    They're not available yet, but when they come out we will have them on the site. I believe retail is going to be right around $99 if I remember correctly.

    That's not what I heard...:confused: :d :d :d
    I'm kidding. They had no idea when I talked to them.

    Side note. Damn, I really need to stop looking at that site. Now I'm curious about the tripwire rest.

    To hell with it. I'm just going to go all Octane on that thing that I ordered...

    No, I think I have decided on the Limb Driver. Possibly, the new Octane drop away.

    However, I did get an email from a BT employee. This wonderful company is now waiting on the packaging for the new bantamweight quiver to come in, and IT WILL BE AVAIL IN LATE SPRING.

    Honestly, How many of us really give a flying fruitcake about the packaging? Just send me the dman quiv in a plastic bag, and a folded piece of cardboard on the top, stapled with sharpie writting that says "Octane" on it.
    I will be just as tickled, and it won't cost near as dam much!

    Edit: This is the response I got from Nick @ BT. It was very brief, and to the point. :huh:
    I asked when the quiver would be available, and if they thought it would be out around the time for the release of the long awaited bow.
    "Yes they actually will both come out late this spring ! And yes we will have
    a matching quiver!

    Nick Droback
    customer service"


    I also stopped in to the Sportsman's Warehouse today, and spoke with the guy that runs the archery department for a little bit. He does shoot BT, and could not be happier about it. That being said, I asked him what he thought about the AirRaid. His answer was along the lines of, it is a good mix of older bows, but he still didn't like it for some reason. He isn't all that impressed with any of the new ones out, Cptn. Adm. or SWAT.
    One thing he seems to have heard from a source(?) was that the earliest release of the AirRaid, would be the 65lb. version, followed by the 75, then 85.

    Can anyone speak any truth to this? That sounds like a dumb idea. Why would they release them all at different times?

    I'm waiting on that Octane NXS Bowsight to come out. Looks like I'll be dropping the money on that too! I just got in the Octane 1 piece Quiver and Hostage Pro rest and love them both!

    It has it's weight, but since I don't hike more than a half mile or so and I take it off the bow when I am on stand, it's not a huge deal to me. If what you say is true, about the 65 lb Air Raids, then I am a happy guy. I am guess thing the reason for the staggard release is they are actually just sending them as quick as they can produce them and the 65lbs are in line to be run first.:confused: :d As long as the LH 65 lbs are up first, we are all good.:cool:

    They said that left handed bows were coming out backwards (righthanded). So they decided to not make them.

    I really wanted that 75. I like to stay right around 68-70 pounds for DW. I'm just comfortable there. Plus. I will be shooting arrows at about 475 - 500 grains. lol. By the sounds of it anyways.

    I am really irritated if the late release is true though. Very irritated. Like, I may just go buy that H**T if it takes that long.

    If you need to have "A" new bow by turkey time, then maybe it's Alpha Max time for you. I want "THE" new bow, whenever it's available.:d I knew it might be close, I am prepared to hunt without it if need be. Granted, I'll be doing it right handed with someone else's bow, but I will still lay the smack down in the name if bird killing.:deer:
