Sag--
I'm here to stick up for you my friend! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> (just a little late)
I too, now which bow works better in MY hands, having shot all four brands named in this post so far. My conclusions are--
1) Doesn't matter how fast you go past! If you can't hit what you're aiming at, speed means squat.(this coming from a guy who has played the speed game for many years)
2) Recurve limbs are smoother and more responsive than straight, split limbs, well, we won't even go there! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
3)Tolerances, and attention to design and detail, along with top-grade materials and parts, make the bow. (along with geometry that is accuracy-oriented and designed to fit a wide variety of people)
4) Popularity is fun as you get to be part of the crowd, but that does little for you if the bow S's the bed and you need stuff repaired and the company is backed up seemingly forever. A bow that has the company stand behind products 100% and gets sutuff out with speed and precision is that one that will win that race. Need the overall combination to "make the grade".In all fairness, the guys at Bowtech DO stand behind their stuff, too.
5) Like I said,I've shot them all, and know which one I'll choose, thanks.
C'mon, Sag, we'll have to go to Bedford this year,I'll come out of "retirement" if I can break away, (still can shoot a decent 3D score on my worst day, it's like riding a bike) and we'll show them what it's all about.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> We'll get Pizonarcher, RobVos, Field 14, and BlackFrog to go too. We'll have a ball! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
But we should make it a point to stop by the Bowtech and Hoyt and Mathews booths while we're there so they can look closer at the winning design. (we may have to run when they start shooting at us, tho! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>)
Yep, this is fun, isn't it?<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
This could actually happen, I need to see Ken anyway for business in the spring, and that alone could give me the excuse to break away! Hmmmm, we'll have to see. Pinwheel 12
