Default RE: I bit the bullet.....HOYT

ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter

Iknow they are giving me a bow and everything, but I just don't know how much longer my patience is going to go. I was told by Angie that they would give me a bow at the end of February. I recieved a call at from Mr.Mike Osbourn in May sometime. I was completely bowless from February until a week ago when I got the 337. How many of you guys think you could stand being perfectly healthy and not shooting for 5months? I have shot 1200 arrows thru that 337 in a week, I honestly can't get tired of shooting it. My plans were origanlly to only have the Cardiac, but it getting so close to hunting season I had to buy a bow.
Bud, I was going to stay out of this thread mainly for the fact that everything I'm thinking has been summed up, but apparently you're still not reaching the point.

The bow is free.

You're paying zero dollars.

Not even shipping.

ZERO dollars.

If the bow comes after the '08 line-up is out and being purchased, you're still recieving a free bow.

Maybe tough love is what's needed here, and maybe I'd get a few glares for this, but here goes;

Andy and Angie took pity on you because you couldn't find a way to puchase a bow on your own. They felt sorry for a kid down on his luck and decided to cut him a break.

This kid is so excited that he becoms the #1 fanboy of Ross and starts talking them up before he's even got it. Great, fantastic, he's supporting the company who took pity on him and helped him out. However annoying it got, we all knew it was because they helped you out.

Now, months later, with the bow still not shipped, you've purchased a bow on your own, which you weren't able to do previously.

Wait.

What?

You purchased a bow on your own?

Isn't that why Andy and Angie were GIVING you one in the first place? Granted its manufactured by the same company, but you've just purchased one on your own which is something you said you couldn't do before.

Ok, so if you're wanting to purchase a Bowtech, fine. If you want a Hoyt, fine.

But if you plan on buying another bow, tell Andy and Angie to give your Cardiac away. You've purchased a bow on your own, you have the bow in your possession, yet you COMPLAIN that it hasn't been shipped.

Your priorities are way mixed up, my man.

Take some time out, think about whats been said, and maybe you'll realize these folks have a point.

I said I would quit but this gets under my skin abit.


YES, I bought a bow on my own. You know where the money came from? Working. I worked hard, and saved money. So what you're saying by this is that I SHOULDN'T have bought a bow and just quietly waited for the free one. Even if that meant missing bowseason? Bowseason here starts in about 50ish days. That about a month and a half. Ross has been saying 4-6 weeks for about 4-6 months. I once again had a decision to make, risk misssing bowseason or buy a "cheap" used bow.

I am NOT trying to sound like I'm complaining about the Cardiac's not shipping fast enough. You guys make it seem like I'm completely oblivious of the fact it's a FREE bow. I'm not stupid, I know what FREE means.

I bought the 337 just in case I didn't have the Cardiac in time for bowseason. Not because I WANTED another bow.
