    Haven't posted here since February, been waiting on my bow to arrive. I'm a lefty and the wait was long. Anyway, it finally arrived. Got the accessories installed, last thing to do is install the peep sight and sight my pins in.

    I'm new to this, so if you guys see anything amiss, please be gentle.

    That is exactly what it is and yes it is on backwards. I looked at that the first time and thought it looked strange.

    Oooops...going to hide behind my ignorance on this one. Thanks for the heads up. I'm a bit red faced now. Guns I know, bows--not so much. Thanks again.

    That's a nice bow! Ithink you'll have to flip the WB the other way around to make it work. I'm a lefty too and it gets confusing for me at times as well. lol

    LOL it's all good JoeDirt1977, we all have to learn somehow! 6 months when you are sitting over your giant buck you can look back and laugh at this moment!! The bow looks great and you should have a lot of fun with it!!
