Default Big Thank You to the Bowtech Guys

Thansk for taking the time to show me the bows! you guys did great & looks like another great year!

Did you sneak me one of those 4 arrow quivers out yet? lol - had to ask!

Matt practice pulling your bow into your stand this summer! that way you can nail that monster buck when he walks in on you getting in your stand! Who knows you might have to come down & hunt with me here in KY sometime!

Jimmy,
You're welcome.......it was great meeting you, and I'm glad you liked what you saw. It was funny, and don't take this the wrong way, but your reaction to shooting the Liberty was the same as 99.9% of the guys I handed one to.
Except for one (Insert name here) dealer who wouldn't admit the bow was nice if I threatened to smash it over his head.

The coolest thing about how we allowed the public to test the bows was in how they were set up.
No 50# models with 500gr arrows trying to blow smoke about how smooth the bows felt.

The public got to shoot any bow at any draw weight and draw length that they were comfortable shooting........You wanted to shoot 70#, you got 70#, and we also had 2 arrow weights (350gr and 425grs)and a grain scale as well as a chrono and a digital draw weight scale to show people EXACTLY what they were dealing with. In both feel and arrow speed if they wished.

It's one thing to show someone a smooth bow when the arrow weight is 100's of grains over IBO legal.......it's something entirely different to hand a shooter a 70# bow with a 350gr arrow to illustrate the point.
Same goes for the speed bows. If someone wanted to see if speeds were overstated they were MORE THAN welcome to try for themselves.

I had to verify arrow weights and draw weights for a few people who simply couldn't believe what they were feeling and seeing in the case of speed. Some of the reactions were priceless. (Lots of mild curse words[:-])

Glad you liked them.

So is that an official invite to KY to hunt? or are you just getting on my better side in an attempt at a free quiver??

Yeah ...we set 'em up however folks wanted. Honestly I don't want to see another allen wrench or mod screw for the next 3 weeks

As an example I set up a Liberty for Tink Nathan at 40 pounds and 26" draw length, and I set up a Pro 40 F-cam for a guy at 70/32.

The Liberty & Justice were the real stars, but the Pat SC and the new MM VFT also got alot of praise..the Pat SC in particular.

I didn't get one negative comment about any of the bows. Like Matt said most folks were really ecstatic. Some of the guys said the duals were very stout, but nobody was like "oh..this is not good" or "you need to change this". In fact when Kevin asked me about what people were saying needed changing/improving I couldn't give him an answer. That's the honest truth.

Great time. Folks really loved the bows.

Matt if need to hunt in KY just get in touch, I'll try to take a little time off to show you a deer or two. If you carry a Bowtech that's like being half way through the gait.

Well some guys say I'm from Pennsyltucky so does that count as the other half way through the gate?
Kentucky sounds like a plan.......I just need to scratch Illinois of my list first this next season.
Thank you wholeheartedly for the offers.
