    Mailman brought me a box today....

    [​IMG]

    Now I just need to figure out how I'm gonna set it up...I have a limb-driver I think I'm gonna put on it, but the sight is still in the air, I may got w/ a Toxonics single pin adjustable or a Sword Twilight, as I have both just laying around.... At 67# the 385gr arrows I have should be about perfectly spined for it if OT2 was correct. We'll see...

    Yeah, yeah, I know, I got the itch, the price was right, everything included shipped for a price I couldn't resist..under $400!!! And it's like new, the guy had put maybe a couple hundred shots through it. I haven't yet shot it, but I suspect it's gonna be a little faster than my 320 and 314 IBO stuff, but it's just a toy at this point, I have to shoot it a while before I make a solid decision on it.

    I liked Rob's, couldn't believe how damned fast it was, I'm not sure what his arrow weight was, but that arrow seemed like it hit the target before while I was still looking through the peep. And if it don't mesh w/ me, I can say I at least tried. I still like my Trykon XL, and when I have the custom one finished, I'll be happy shooting it as well, but I got the itch, guy needed to get rid of it, so I jumped on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.....

    Richard,
    That would be an 82nd Airborne, wearing a Fuse string suppressor, Shrewd Grip, Flat-Liner Stab, and a whisker biscuit. Probably gonna put a Limb-driver on it that I got on another bow, and put the WB from this bow on that one, which is for sale.....

    Installed new draw mods this afternoon, (thanks Rob), and put a couple arrow through it, after about 8 arrows, I was CLOSE to the center of the target. Man it was SNOWING out there!!! Jury is still out, but it shot nice today, so I get a little more time behind it, and I'll know how well I'm gonna like it.

    Touchy, touchy :) I just still owe you for your tattoo comments ;) and I didn't know that only 4 people shot at the GTG last year.

    I just bought a new sight from Black Gold called the Solaris HD. You might want to check it out.

    No Doug, I'll actually probably be shooting my Hoyt Frankenbow if I ever get it put together, I just wanted to have a Bowtech to be like the "cool" guys.....:D

    The Frankenbow is a custom dipped Trykon XL Riser, dipped XT 500 limbs, black limb pockets, w/ Katera Z3 cams, basically a Katera XL on a Trykon Riser, then I'm gonna have a Hoyt Shaeffer Tec drop-away and a Sword Twilight Hunter, Fuse Stealthshot, and I'm still pending on the stabilizer side of things.

    I apologized!!! And even sincerely, which is a lot for me, because my level of "sincerity" generally runs VERY LOW!!!

    And I was kidding at the "WTH" thing, I CAN use all the help I can get. Especially after this past season.....:mad:
