Jeff, I'm very impressed with your personal interest pertaining to BowTech bows, especially here in Ontario. What I will say however is, getting your hands on a 'NEW' BowTech here (Southern Ontario) is nothing short of a nightmare!! I am being very honestabout this.
I am addicted to Archery and I love to hunt!!! Neither of these can be accomplished without one bow or another as we all already know.
My wife gave me a Bowtech Liberty VFT flyer in a 10" X 13" envelope for Christmas 2004. I asked her, 'what's happening here'--she replied and said that the bow was on order and never came in on time---CHRISTAMS 2004.
I waited and waited--no BowTech--oh I should also tell you my 'hunting' buddy owns the Pro Shop where she ordered the bow.
Six weeks later--no Liberty. Then one afternoon my buddy calles me to say the new CHAMPIONS are in and I should come and check them out.
I IMMEDIATELY left my home headed for the Shop.
Got there and opened four boxes, all Champions--The Wolverine, Scorpion, Diablo and Champion Liberty. Just about that time there was a post--quite a lengthy post (similar to this )--that compared the Liberty (my wife had on order) and the Diablo. So what the heck I said, I'll have a go at the Diablo--took them to the range and shot 3 of the 4 bows, the Diablo, Scorpion and Wolverine.
To make a long story short--I ordered myself the Scorpion as my price was much better compared to what the average man in the street would pay for it.
It was my thought at the time that "I" would buy the Scorpion and when the Liberty gets here, that will be my wife's Christmas gift to me. Of course I never passed this 'thought' onto my wife--and I'm sure we all will understand the reason for this.
Well the new BowTech bows arrived sometime later--Nubo collected his and mine never came.
I am yet to get my bow--it's now April. The Liberty bows came but all in camo. My wife order me the target color, blue & black, 28" DL and 60# limbs. North Sylva said they got a 28" DL & 60# red & black (which by the way I was going to take--I like them both, the red & the blue), but it was 'Left-handed'. Right--like if I can shoot a left handed bow.
This guys is full of IT!!!
Actually I'm still interested in the Liberty, but I don't need another camo bow at this time and I haven't a clue how much longer I'll wait as I have also a real interest in the Hoyt XTEC and the Merlin Extreme (the later isn't available here either, unfortunately), but I may just wake up one morning and decide a XTEC it will be, as I can get my hands on one of these is pretty short order.
Please forgive my lengthy post, but it's about time North Sylva get their act together.
