Default My new bow...and future 4 it

Hi all...new to the forum!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found this bow on clearance at Sportsmans Wharehouse. Priced regularly at $679 and I bought it for $399 brand new. It is a 50-60# bow and I have not worked up to 50#, but the bow turned down to 43# and I can draw that with ease. I have it currently set on 45# and my boyfriend says I will be shooting 50# or more easily by the end of the summer. I want to send it to a dip shop and make it look like my boyfriend Dons GT500 that is his 3D and turkey hunting bow. It will be dipped in NVG Predator Green, complete with accessories like his bow is decked out like. I love lime green(my favorite color) and I know that it will void my lifetime warranty on the limbs, but oh well.








Here is Don's Elite GT500 with a Posten stab, Sword Twilight hunter sight, custom Cracker strings, and braided wrist loop. When I saw this bow, I knew that mine had to get sent to the dip shop. His bow arrived on last Tuesday and the next am, within hours of owning it, he smoked a turkey with it. He is taking me turkey hunting this weekend and I will hopefully get my 1st bird arrowed with my new bow.

That's a better deal than what I was looking at - by the area code it looks like they're close as well. They don't list an address, do you know what town they're in?
