    Hey Ya'll, My name is Aaron Stepp but everybody calls me AROD. I have been part of bowhunting.com for a while but I have never introduced myself. I own a 1984 Hoyt/Easton Pro Hunter Compound bow (yes, it looks like the RAMBO BOW, except it is green with the wooden style limbs) I bought from my wife's boyfriend for $40.00 that came with a hard case, arm guard, quiver, 6 different sights, a couple berger buttons (never could get them to act right) LOL!!! and a bunch of spare parts and is in really good shape. The teardrops look to be in great condition, the cables look to be strong just have a couple indentions where they go into the cams where the screws hold them in place but I don't see any problem with that. It is missing the specs label on the lower limb but had a lot of paperwork with it. I think it is a 70# draw, takes a little muscle to pull it back. I accidentally bumped the serving with my knife trying to get rid of a "fuzzy"! LOL!!! I didn't know any better since I had never owned a compound bow and that cut the serving which I had planned on reserving the bow anyway. I am trying to get my 7 year old son and my 8 year old daughter into bowhunting, I bought my boy a Vortex 19-45 LB. compound bow. I'm still trying to get my daughter on board but when she finally shoots a bow I know she will be wanting a bow too. I am a single dad and my kids are definitely like there Daddy! LOL!!! I just wanted to introduce myself since I am trying to learn everything I can about becoming a Bowyer. We'll, now that I finally got this out of the way I can start asking questions to all of you smarter than me Bowhunters out there! LOL!!! Thanks for letting me part of your group and I will be back on here in a little while, gotta go upstairs and put a fuel pump in Mee-Maw's car. Thank ya'll in advance and GOD Bless, AROD

    Welcome AROD. You had me a little concerned when you said you bought the bow from your "wife's boyfriend". :D Good luck this fall.
