you sold or gave a bow to, tells you how much they like it and how well they are doing with it? I recently sold my hunting bow on Ebay to help pay for the cost of a new bow. My Martin Cougar Magnum had seen 5 hunting seasons, and the normal wear of carrying a bow through brush was showing, although I took good care of the bow. I gave an honest description and took 5 pictures(4 close up of the worn grip area and few scratches).
Anyway, I received an email this morning from the guy who bought it. It turns out he is or was a young Marine and has only bowhunted one season. He joined an indoor league and described his woes using his old bow. He further told me after just getting a new peep, kisser button along with a QAD Ultrarest on the bow, he only had 15 minutes to get his sight adjusted for the indoor animal round. He then said at the end of the shoot, he went from being the worst shooter in the league(scorewise) to eighth out of 36 that first night shooting my old Martin and beat several archers shooting new $700 bows. In his email he is estatic and very pleased............and so am I. I replied that the archer behind the bow is most important but glad the bow seemed to help. I also told him that after more tuning and getting accustomed to the bow he can only get even better. Anyway, this is longwinded but his email sure made my day!!!!!!!!!! Hope he joins HNI...seems to be good guy.
