yes jimmya...i definently have the fever already...for hte last month of so ive been picturing shots while falling asleep and then when i fall asleep i have dreams about bowhunting...i cant wait!! i think i might actually consider a more expensive bow because truely i am in this for a long while..im an adrenalin junky...its what keeps me waking up every morning...and i know just seeing a deer at 10yds is a rush..but taking on at 10yds with a bow will be much greater...and really buying one good bow to last me a good few years will save me money instead of buying 3 cheap bows i dont like and cant shoot good...and im not one to make excuses if i miss..i get so mad at myself its not funny..even if its a tree rat..i practice shooting year round theres no reason to miss..i dont want to beable to blam my cheap bow...if i do my part i want my equiptment to do its share...and shooting my bow i will do tons of...all summer even if its just before we go out on the boat or something like that i can still get off 20 arrows..i spend so much time here at my gramas it will be perfect..i dont have much of a yard so i cant shot at home..i cant wait..i hope i get the job im after..give me 2 months and i will have a decint amount of money and i dont care what my dad says..i have good points behind buying an expensive bow and all the best accessories..he SHOULD understand..if not its my money anyways..he will just be...dissappointed..until im bagging monster bucks every year! lol...thanx guys...i wil check out martins and hoyts and others when i do goto the bow shop..im lucky to have a big dealer out the road....
