After deciding on what bow to buy thanks to all your input my son suprised the heck out of me today. He called me from Texas this morning and during conversation I told him that I was going to start bow hunting again. This made him very happy, so much so that he told me not to buy anything. He said he had a spare Mathews LX that he would just send me. You can't imagine how happy he made me. I don't know anything about this model but am sure it's a good one. Thanks for listeding to my ramblings but wanted to share how lucky that I am.
