RE: bow or blind
Pabowhunter, no one really has answered your question. Couple of questions. How old is your bow? More than 5-10yrs old? I was in the same predicament earlier this yr. I had a 5 y.o. Golden Eagle w/a dbl oval shaped cam system. This past Jan I bought a Bowtech Tribute. Man o man what a difference. The Tribute is lightyears ahead of the GE. It's faster, quieter, smaller, & shoots like a dream. This past week I was shooting in the yard & my youngest son commented how quiet my bow was compared to the old one. And as for speed he couldn't even see them fly @ 20yds. U can always get a blind. But you'll get a heck of a rush w/a new bow. It'll even probably renew your love for the sport. Since I got my bow, I'm out at least 2-3 x's/wk. Definitely go w/the bow.
