Default New bow, man law observed.

So it came in today.

After a horrible four day wait (sure glad I'm not a lefty!), she showed up at work and was waiting for me to sign for her when I rolled in this afternoon. We were pretty busy, so I didn't have a chance to set her up at all until I got home. I had about 30 minutes of light left and probably broke some sort of record for quickest module swap/bow set-up ever.

I'll paper tune her tomorrow and shoot through the chronograph so I can post some numbers for you... Oh yeah, I sprung for a better camo too.













The first three arrows I shot after throwing her together, I was aiming for the hole low and right of where I hit;



As she sits I've got her wearing;

Montana Black Gold Flashpoint
Octane Hostage Pro
S-Coil

You guys keep throwing up these beautiful pics of APG-adorned BowTechs and I may have to break down and get my next one in that scheme...

Greg, the pictures don't do it justice, bud. This is the sweetest looking camo I have seen. I was really torn between this and Max-1 and finally settled on the APG because I hadn't seen many in it. I'm glad I did. It looks incredible.

And my Hostage doesn't sit that far back anymore, I remembered there are two mounting holes!

Gorgeous Rig, nice group.

Thing is,

Ben was up to my place to have me tweak his 101 so after we did a little tweaking I asked if he was up for a game of B.U.C.K? Of course he was, and I grabbed my 82nd .....so in the middle of the round Ben called the black of the eyeball on the deer at 40 yards.....I laughed and said, Oh okay Ben. Didn't that tall SOB nail that eyeball so it was time for me to man up.

At 40 yards I slid my arrow along side his in the black of the eyeball.

As we walked up to the target I said to Ben, No...these Airbornes can't be tuned and No, these Airbornes can't be shot accurately...LMAO.
