thanx for all the advice guys!! im excited. i made 3 ebay sales today plus i get paid thursday. i got tally it all together and pay my phone bill and fill up the gas tank and see whats left. if all goes right im ordering the rig this week. if not 2 more weeks wont kill me till next pay day.

like i said, this year the feathers will be plain, solid color, plain black carbon arrows. next year i plan to make or buy a cresting machine so i can paint them myself. come up with a custom coloring band or something. ill play around on old shafts or buy a few cheapos and practice painting and see what colors and design i want to go with. and also next year i want to fletch my own nice barred feathers. i think feathers and hand crested(painted) arrows look sweet. i cannot waitttt to order the bow and have it here. im going to start working on the backyard range tomarrow after my 3 shipments are gone. i got a nice corner of the yard and a solid 35yds to shoot in my backyard. my buddy has a 3d and a field for long range and 3d practice. i cant wait. i really think my bowhunting dream is going to come true. lots of hours of work to save up for it, but itll all be worth it. next is a climbing stand and a pair of boots by fall. thanx for the advice guys. pics of the rig will come when it gets here!!! as long as nothing major goes wrong(like the truck dumping on me or something crazy...but happend before lol) ill have it ordered this week, or in 2 weeks from thursday. gotta see how the cash flow situation is. right now its lookin good.
