Ive been wanting to get a new bow for a few years now .
I finally decided between 1st and 2nd choice bows .
After reading everything on the web, and magazines, and word of mouth ,. etc. I was ready to buy my new bow this morning .
I decided it was in my best intrest to go to a repitable bow shop after some research etc.
I found a shop abought an hour from my residence .
Iwnet to the same shop in february and shop 3 different bows ( all the same brand )
Ok. its Bowtech,, and the Tribute is what I want ,
Any way I called the shop tech on Sunday morning and told him I,d be over Tuesday or Wednesday morning to finally buy my new bow .
We talked for a while abought the bow , draw length, etc, etc.
Monday morning I called back and talked to the owner .
I said I,d be over and he said Tuesday was better .
I said o.k. and he informed me he had one new Bowtwch Tribute left and that they sold one on Sunday .
But he would hold it for me .
Anyway after ariving there this morning , the tech that was supposed to be there wasnt going to be there until 1 pm.
No problem , the tech I was talking to said they all can put together and tune the bows.
So I said well I waited this long saved up $1200. for EVERYTHING NEW .
I didnt have a problem with who sets it up and tunes it .
So we go over to the bow s on display and he hands me a brand new ??? Tribute that has a junk sight , kisser, peep, loop, and rest already on it .
Not counting a few nice scratches .
My face must have been glowing red....
I said hasnt this been shot /
He says probably only a few times, So my wife asks him after she notices my face glowing ( not with glee )I f they have a new bow in the box ?
He goes upstairs for abought 30 seconds and comes back and shakes his head no .
I was so pissed I could hardly talk .
My problem is I dont have another Bowtech dealer even close to me .
If you ever felt between a rock and a hard place but with frustration , this was me .
I talked to him for a while asking if there was anything they would or could do to persway me into buying the bow ,lower bow price, ad a wb rest , 5% off ???
He says there committed to the custumer service so theres no flexing of the prices .
He says they have 2 more on order and should be in in 2 weeks ??
He said hed put my name on one if I wanted .
I ended upleaving with no bow and very upset and discuraged ,
I figure if I,m paying retail for a bow ( nib) Thats what I should be getting .
I asked him if he would give his $750. dollar bow to 6 or 8 custumers and have them shoot it for 20 -30 minutes alone ??
He had no coment , but he totaly agreed with me aboyght being fussy and expecting new although he could not help me out .
I dont no maybe I,m to picky but I dont no who shot the bow and how much or if it was dry fired , etc..
Now I,m lost on what to do do to the deer season comming up and having to wait at least 2 more weeks .
Ive been on vacation since Saturday and its been doing nothing but rain ,
The shop had one other custumer that came in after me , So it was the purfect day . Raining quiet and noone to bother us seeting up my new bow .
Everything was Great ,?? Except no bow .
Sorry so long , just ranting and raving a little .
What should I do ??
Buy from the internet ?? Wait 2 more weeks , Buy my 2nd or 3rd choice bow ??? 2nd Diamond Black Ice and 3rd is Mathews Switchback XT ...
wHAT WOULD YOU DO ??[]
