    Called the bow dealer here and told him to setup a Bear Assualt. Gonna test drive it and hopefully with the wife's consent ( ;) ) if it shoots as well as the Attack... it is coming home with me. The wife is still in the ... No Way In Hell mode... but my charm could melt ice on a 40 below day !! I'll will be working it today !!!!! LOL

    I will have to stop at the shop on the way home to snap some pictures if I buy the Assualt as Tyler wrecked our camera in his big splash on Tuesday when he fell through the ice. I would try to charm her into a camera also but that might be pushing it. We will see though as I like challenges. First we will just concentrate on getting the bow !!! LOL

    both bows are very nice i have shot the both. just shot the assault Thursday night, very fast and easy to shoot, i liked the grip on the attack along with the pre loaded limbs better but i like the riser on the assault a little more.both have a little hump on the rollover but i would get used to that pretty fast. both bows are very fast,and the attack may be the fastest single cam out there.


    my dealer had a fully loaded assault here for 699.00
    the attack was 699.00 for the bear bow.
    both are top shelf as far as i am concerned.

    i am going to shot both again tomorrow myself

    Well the bow mission was accomplished and must say I still have it in the charm department. :) I really liked the Assault. Quiet, fast and I liked the grip over the Attack. Both bows are very nice and I would gladly own either one but the Assault fit me best. I had him throw on a Whisker Biscut and Trophy Ridge 5 pin site ( light will come off before hunting ). I put on my Limb Saver Stabilizer to balance it out more.

    Here's some pictures of it...

    Love the camo on it...

    got her home and shot twice at 20 yards and once at 30 yards to warm up. Then I shot a group of three at 30 yards. Keep in mind I haven't moved the pins for height yet. I just wanted to see how it grouped. First shot was me or this blasted wind we have had the last couple days. Second and third shot were pretty decent I thought. :)

    Like my new camera. We should have stopped at the Ford dealer. They have some nice looking new trucks !! ;) :)

    My idea of a new truck is new to me... not brand new. I shop in the very well used clunker section at Ford. :( My charm just can't cut it alone... I would have to win the lotto or something. LOL

    Either your wife isn't as difficult as you say or indeed you are the charmer for the ages.:)
