I'm sure most folk's wives will yell at them just for thinking about next year's bows this early into 2005. You may want to post this question at a later date!

No kidding!

I haven't even bought my 2005 bow yet.[8D] Come on, give us slow folks a little while to catch up with the rest of you.

On the one hand I have to agree...it is a bit early to be thinking of their new bows for next year. However, why don't we turn this thread into what we would like to see changed in their current lineup...ie, suggestions for current models or for future models?

It cannot hurt, right? They are very receptive to suggestions from their consumers as we have all learned in past years.

Camo dipped accessories to match the bows... Like a camo dipped Spot Hogg and Infinity rest...

Black Knight w/ binarys...

I'm sure we'll see some great things for '06.. I already heard they're going to greatly improve the Diamond line...

Good idea Frank!

I would like to see most of the bow companies quit messing up the valley on 65% letoff bows.[>:] There are still a ton of archers who prefer 65% letoff. I would also like to see more dual cam bows.......IMO a dual cam bow is better in the long run than the one cams. I actually think a dual cam bow is easier and quicker to tune than single cams..........and with the newer string materials easier to keep in tune.

Since in alot of cases Bowtechs end up being ordered for the customer, what about an options list like a car purchase? You could spec out your camo color, string, grip and possibly have accessories like STS systems or sights and rests. It would simplify the purchase for alot of people.

I really like the idea of BowTech expanding their accessories market. It is hard to find good accessories that match the bow well.

As far as the bows go, a Eq cam BK would be nice, I would also like to see a better string silencing option.

Other than that, I can't think of too much more!

If I had one request from Bowtech, it would be a bow. I would really like to see a 35" bow with a 7 1/4 - 7 1/2" brace height. I really like myAllegiance, but I would really like a slightly longer ATA bow. Something in the middle of the Allegiance and Old Glory.

I agree completely.

Furthermore, I would like to see the grip changed. It's not bad, but a little on the skinny side. I'm a big fan of Hoyt's new grip myself. If somehow I could transmogrify a Hoyt grip onto my Allegiance I would be a very happy man.
