Default moved to the darkside



I have been working with my hoyt for 2 weeks and just couldn't get the consistency I wanted - fine shooting bow but something just didn't feel right to me - it had the z3 cam so had little adjustment options

So after our 3-d shoot yesterday I got to thinking ( dangerous I know) that I seen the Old BT commander I had last year at the shop still-
I headed over to see what options I could do - and 7hours later here is what I wound up with:

I got the commander back my 07 -
Equipped it with my sword twilight hunter
trophy taker pronghorn rest
and a new stabilizer
Shooting gold tip x-cutters flecthed with 3 red barred 4 inch feathersat 64 lbs at 269 fps perfect for 3-d - back-up hunting bow

I also got an 08 --101st in mossy oak brush camo
equipped it with my QAD ultra rest
S-coil stabilizer
Hadn't decided on the sights
and need a two piece quiver for it
This is going to be the primary hunting bow -
going to shoot 400 FMJ"S in the new camo pattern equipped with 3 4 inch barred feathers 1 grey - two brown -

Will post some pics this afternoon -

I thought vacancy at the "Bowtech Motel" was starting to dwindle away.[8D]

Pretty soon, no room at the inn. Lucky you switched when you did.

Wanna sell me the Hoyt?

That's what I've said too. I don't drink, smoke or chew so I need one obsessive habit.

For me it's Archery!!
