Apreciate your honesty and a few kind words .
But to davimil , Rickmur , mtfreezer ,swampcollie .
Why are you so negative ??
No ones holding a gun to my head , I agree .
The next closest Bowtech shop is almost 3 hrs away ...
I,m not bashing or taking this out on Bowtech either .
I did shoot a few bows at the same shop in February , I only seen one bow that was half set up to test and it wasnt a tribute .,
The tribute I tried had only a rest put on it when I tried it out ,
I was comparing draw feelings , noise and vibration .
These are all 2007 models .
The shop carries abought 3 different lines of bows , has a huge indoor range ( 2 floors) and an outside range as well .
As far as marks , there were scratches on the riser and limb near the cam .
9 out of 10 people ( probably )would have bought the bow ?
Sounds like you guys listed above david, Rick ,mt, and swamp would have .
Would you guys be willing to ups me your bows so me and 4 or 5 of my buddies can shoot them a few times ?
I promise we will only shoot a few arrows thru them ?
Shouldnt even come back with a scratch on them.
Didnt think so .
So why should anyone settle for less .
I would not even have bought the bow at $650.
I,m VERY fussy and careful with my guns, bow, Brand new truck that I bought with 5 tenths of a mile on it .
I will NOT buy a bow thats been shot for ???? many times and by ???
I talked with 2 different techs , one 3 days before I went there also the owner himself the day before .
If hes and honest dealer , why didnt he tell me he had only the one tribute left and it was randomly shot by a few customers ??
I felt postal yes , but its no good to tell off an neutral person .
The guy that I spoke with Tuesday says hed have the owner call me and he completely understood me being so picky .
He appolagized but it doesnt do much good for a wasted day and gas $$$ spent .
My next decesition is either wait and buy a bow from them in a couple weeks or travel 3 hrs or get one on the net or buy a Black ice local ??
Still very frustrating , but thanks to you guys for the encouragement.
This really $uck$ and I cant figure out why there is a few guys that want to bash me ??
