    I see the Ross site is under construction and you can by the ROSS bows online anywhere.

    Is the ROSS line dead, I have a feeling it is, and there is also no link on the bowtech site.

    Time to replace it anyway, buddy. ;) :D

    No one has shot the Sentinel FLX yet that I know of; dont' think they've started building them yet. Will soon though.

    What kind of specs are you looking into? I say you get into a company with a concrete foundation this time! lol. Any bow you get, they go out of business or sell the company or something. ;)

    I know, SOB

    I am getting a Bowtech or Hoyt.

    I like a bow 34''+, speed does not matter to me. I like a smooth pull, and a BH over 7'' at least.

    I'll sell you my 2002 Patriot :D :p

    Germ you must do to bow companies what I do to companies I work for. Great companies and as soon as I join them they head downhill. Hopefully I'm done with that pattern as I work for myself now :rolleyes:

    There were rumors as always on AT. I won't repeat them because, frankly I hate gossip, and I'm in no position to pretend to be an authority.

    The sentinel absolutely would be the bow I would be buying if I was buying new this year. I still may, not sure. Are you looking to buy new, Germ?

    Germ; Don't buy an Elite! I'd like to see them survive long enough to make something of themselves.

    Yes and my buddy has the Admiral and he is a lefty. I shot it and loved it, it made my ROSS feel like a hunk of iron.

    Unless when I shoot the hoyt it toally blows me away, I am getting the sentinel.

    The Sentinel blew me away last year and you know how many bows I shoot a year.

    Buckeye talked me out of it though. He mentioned who well I shoot the 82nd and other than the want, did I need the Sentinel. It might be on my list this year again! Awesome bow Germ, if you think the Admiral is sweet, just wait til you shoot the Sentinel!

    Ross WAS purchased by bowtech, they killed the line it appears however. If you own a Ross you can STILL get warranty parts through G5 for them.
