It's not my Destroyer, but it will do! 2010 Sentinel Optifade Forest

When I saw my shop's number in on my cell phone screen, I thought I would be picking up my Destroyer 340 last night. This was not the case and it actually works out better this way. 3D starts March 1st and I need this bow before the Destroyer anyhow. I ordered the Destroyer back in November when news of them broke and had ordered this bow January 12th. With my Air Raid spoken for, I was technically without a bow of my own and I had hoped that one of mine would come in so that I wouldn't have to borrow the bow that I just sold (haven't delivered yet) from my friend Tim.

Here's my 3D/hunting backup for the coming season. I never usually order standard camo and this one is no exception. Gore Optifade Forest. I took a ton of pics both outside and inside so you can see just what you are getting with this camo.









She's fitted with the following:
Viper Predator MT with .010 pins
11.5 Octane Stabilizer (I wrapped the inner tube with vinyl and added the pin strips)
Limb Driver with Silver cord to match the D loop
I added a insulating strip from Sims to the Flex Guard. (I didn't shoot it prior to installation to know if there was any affect from the FG, but there sure ain't now.)
I also have a Sling Braid coming for it to accent the camo as well.











I also opted to tie in my LD cord using Vapor Trail's new method instead of the split limb attachment. It's what I will have to do in the Destroyer, so I figured I would do it on the Sentinel as well. (Plus, I didn't have the split limb attach.)

Thanks for looking. After I get a peep installed up at Rob's, I will chono her up and post some specs. I'll be shooting 331 grain UL Pro 22's at 30.5 draw pulling 62ish pounds.

 

Awesome looking bow! How did you add the pin stripes?

 

Very nice. I'm really liking the Optifade pattern the more I see it. Hopefully I get to test shoot her in the future.

 

Thanks fats, I just bought a square foot of vinyl from the auto decal guy and cut the piece to wrap the inner part and also the stripes.

 

Test shoot? I though you had dibs?

 

When you're done with it, I'll buy it

I did not know you were a lefty!!! That is a sweet looking bow

 

Thats a very nice looking rig, Ben! That opti-fade is a sweet looking camo.

 

That's why I said I would put you on my "call list". MGH get's first refusal on this baby when I get throug with it. And, just so you know, I am just a weirdo, not a lefty. (RH, Left eye)

Thanks Finch, the camo choice worked out better than I planned, I like it.

 

Ah yes, dibs. Germ, you're second in line:D If I keep dropping money on my house like I am, you'll certainly bump to 1st in line:D

 

kewl put me for second

 

Sweet looking rig. I'm really liking that camo.

 

Wow Ben, nice piece of equipment! Saaweeet!

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks Bry, Merc, and Rob. Now I don't have to be so jealous of Rob and Bry for having their 2010's already.

 

Thats really sweet and im digging the camo.

 

Badazz!

 

Dam thats sweet that camo makes you feel like you need 3-d glasses :D

 

Thanks Crick/Mobow. I hope to get her out shooting today. We'll see what the wife has to say about that.

 

Went up to Rob's for a bit. Got the peep put in using his new X press. What a nice press once ya figure it out. 64 pounds, 334 grain arrow, 315 fps. Here's the thing, it's like nothing when you drop the string. I had an 07 Commander and it was great, but they have this CP thing figured out. My coming Destroyer is gonna have it's work cut out to steal a top spot from this baby. I look forward to putting some more arrows through it, but all indications are that it's gonna perform awesome for me with the foam.

 

Ben, I know I told you I was toying with the idea of ordering one of these in just for the couple or three foam shoots I do a year with my good buds... Dangit; know you've done gone and made me want to more than "toy" with the idea...

VERY, VERY nice setup you've put together there. I REALLY liked the Optifade once I handled several of them at our booth this year... She's a very pretty bow, and I already know how smooth she shoots.

You done good... yessir. VERY good.
