    Well, today my new grip finally arrived for my bow and after installing it I decided that I better get some photos of the bow up.

    Here she is...

    2008 BowTech 82nd Airborne (29"@70lbs) Realtree APG camo option
    Sword Apex Micro 3rd Plane Sight
    VaporTrail LimbDriver rest
    11.5" Octane Stabilizer
    1-piece Octane Quiver
    Loesch Laminated Dymondwood High Wrist grip
    Paradox Braided Wrist Sling
    FastFlight Flightwire Strings/Cables
    G5 Meta Peep
    Easton Lightspeed 340 arrows with Blazer vanes
    Scott Rhino release

    Here is what she looked like last year...

    And here she is now....

    Octane Stabilizer...

    She looks/feels/shoots like an entirely new bow. I still wanna add some Rizr-Jax to it along with some string silencers and the arrows will change before archery season opens. I got the quiver and stabilizer here at Bowhunting.Com and must say "Thank You" again to Justin!

    Sweet very nice, did you switch stabilizers to a Octane or do you use 2 different ones?

    The Octane is new, I got rid of the Hi-Tex, I wanted something that would put the weight more forward of the bow and it does the job nicely (with a great side-effect of taking all buzz and noise out of the bow:cool: )

    Thanks, I love the grip. I actually ordered it originally in black/gray and blue but I got an e-mail from Loesch stating that they were currently out of that color laminate so I opted for the green/black/brown and I am happy I did.


    Thanks, thats the stock string suppressor and cable roller. The 2008's came with that and they changed the design for the new 2009 BowTechs.

    O yea, bag targets don't hold up long from the whoppin she puts on them. I actually have two bag targets, a Morrell and a Delta set back to back now and I am still sinkin the arrows up to the fletchings. I havn't chrono'd her lately but last year she was spittin my arrows out at 328 f.p.s. I believe my arrows weight right around 385 grains :d

    not a bowtech guy but sweet rig! and that grip is crazy cool!!!!! still love that they called it 82 Airborn... BLOOD WINGS all the way!!!!!! easy sickos!!!!!:lol: not talking about those kind, when you get your "wings" after jump-school they put em' on you without backings (kinda like on the back of women's earrings) your CO pins em' on and punches/slaps em and they usually poke thru your uniform and your chest bleeds on em!:usa:
