Ausie....definitely contact Jerid Strasheim at BowTech, he's a great guy and has stated that he will consider internet or shipped bows on a "Case by Case" basis based on exactly the reason you stated......it's simply impossible for you to GET ONE in a realistic distance.
And since the only shop to carry them within realistic distance is obviously run by a Buttnut ,I imagine he would be willing to help you out.....he offered on another thread to discuss any such problems with potential customers.
His e-mail address is located on BowTech's website.....I'd take him up on it.
The bows and the company are worth the extra effort......it's just a shame that YOU have to go the extra mile to find that out.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
