Cpahunter
I feel your pain I also have just gotten into archery after many years of rifle hunting and after buying a Parker Hunter mag and shooting it for a while I made the mistake of trying a Bowtech patriot and ended up with it too. Not unlike yourself I cannot afford a divorce, but unlike you I live in Montana so if you are really looking for an elk hunt let me know i have a few friends who guide. Anyway back to the subject of archery I think I have found the right bow for me ad am going to try and stay out of the bow shops and turn a deaf ear to all this new high tech stuff in order to stay married.

I think it is important to remember guys have killed elk with two sticks and a string of buffalo hide so all of this junk is probably unessesary. I hope to get my brain back in the mail soon and maybe I will sell out on technology and go traditional? But it is fun to watch an arrow fly(you can't really see it with a compound)and smack the target hard.
