It wasa false alarm...I ran down to the shop today at lunch...they opened at 12.
It was an FX...not an LX.
They didn't have an LX, OB or SB in my size...so onward I went. I called over to another shop and he had one in my size, and the accessories I wanted on it (almost).
I asked him to set it up and I would come down to shoot it and then buy it...but he wasn't willing. Could you believe that...so I was on my way there to see him in person and stopped to look at some fishing stuff at a different shop on the way. Well, they also had some bows...all PSE and Browning. I asked to shoot the Browning Illusion. The guy busted out his own (whose draw was obviously bigger than mine) and proceeded to adjust it to my range...pretty damn cool. Anyway, the bow shot like a dream. Smooth and quiet as could be. But I played like I was set on the Mathews and he started dropping...So I got it with a quiver, Trophy Ridge Drop Zone (Guide series w/ DHD) and TOP GUN NIGHTHAWK sight and a dozen PSE CarbonForce arrows all set up (loop, peep, lasered...) for $820. That was about $180 off (of in store pricing) without the laser set up or anything. I also asked about a hat and a sticker (hell...Mathews gives em to ya), and now I'll look pretty too.
Thanks for all the help.

Congrats on the purchase Tim. I hear alot of good things about the Illusion. In fact I hear it compares closely to the Switchback and it's a tad faster.

Hey congrats Tim!I know a guy that bought one of those illusions,and he liked it too.

Lethal Diamonds:I'm using a kwikee quiver on my victory.

The reson I got it was because I shot it. I am sorry I missed the op to shoot the Switchback...might've madea difference. I have read the good and bads on the SB, which is what I think did it in for me. If I was just able to shoot itI probably would've had one.
Regardless, the Illusions did shoot beautifully. I made the poor guy take all the extra crap off so I could see what it was like naked...very nice. Of course all it does is give me the tool to get the deer...now where do those deer hide?

Thanks
Tim

I currently have a Diamond Victory and an Alleigance and fro the money the Victory is a solid Bow. For the price it i swell worth it. You are saving 100-150.00 dollars. They are every bit as smooth as any of the "high end" bows, I will tell you this the Diamond is one of the most well balanced bows I have owned. You need to shoot one goodluck with oyur purchasae whatever it maybe.

Hey Devlin...sounds like you got your mind rite....saved a few toward an out of town hunt or acouple of extra days off to hunt with pay....See.......sometimeswe just have to typeour problems out
