Now you're calling my posts regarding Bowtechs as "unnecessary, Ignorant, and blatant"! C'mon now! "Touchy" only to those that have little respect for others, yes! You talk alot, but you aren't saying anything other than reverting to thinking I am "Ignornant", "touchy", and all my comments lately are "BS". Just general tactics to try and make me look less credible, nice try. Might work with your 3yr old son, but who's gonna believe that here?

Maybe simply because I commented twice on the Bowtechs recently? (no-one reads my other posts?) Now all of a sudden I'm "rash"? I don't think so. Silent Assassin took my previous post out of context also, maybe it looked that way even, but I really have no arguement with Bowtechs' bows themselves. I see Kevin even had to come out of the woodwork to try and "smooth over" some of the "groupie" comments made on another board. Bet he loves that, too...

I spoke highly of the Bowtechs when they first hit the scene, and to clarify still feel they are a nice bow, as good as most out there even, but certainly not the "best of class". They still have a ways to go to get to that point, IMO. (My opinion, everyone has their preferences.)


It doesn't matter what you or I think either, each person has to decide what he/she likes, and if anyone is having a "my way or the highway" attitude lately, it's you with your brand loyalty, Jeff!

The rest of the babble I'm not even going to bother responding to because it's simply a waste of my time.

It's obvious that you feel you did nothing wrong by telling me you think I'm ignorant, touchy, and full of BS, but I still feel as tho you've "crossed the line" with me. I can safely say that I am thoroughly sane,(just had a physical last week as a matter of fact!) and will always be here to answer questions, whether you like me and my "old ways" here or not.(don't forget that I test all new stuff also, and therefore am not "fossilized" into thinking new stuff is no good, only when it warrants a "thumbs down".) If that entails "telling it like it is" about ANY equipment I feel is not worthy,(or giving the "thumbs up" when I feel it is, read the Diamond thread by Rangeball yet?) then so be it.

Unfortunately my respect for you as an upcoming tech has diminished greatly with your recent attacks, just as whatever I seem to have done to you has pissed you off also. I have never once "bashed" or "called out" a tech that had more expereince or knowledge than I, it's an "unwritten rule" of respect. However I did no namecalling towards you, therefore I still feel it is not me that needs to step forward and apologize in this case.

Sure, there are kids that can whip the pants off of us older guys as far as shooting goes, younger eyes, fire of determination and will to succeed (and make money and fame!)go a long way. But there isn't a one of them that knows more about the "entire package" than us older guys who have been around the sport many, many years, or how to tune correctly from MEMORY a bunch of different setups without once shooting it through paper, and when we do it comes out perfect most every time. Some things you just can't read about, and can't learn in a few short years. It takes alot of time and dedication of the entire sport to learn most of it, and the rest we pick up on a daily basis, even after 30, 40, or even 50 years, it never stops. THAT is the difference between "Pro Shooters" and "Pro Archers".

That's it for the speech on this end. Pinwheel 12
