bought me a hat monday ;)
 

It's a very nice had too!!!! It's black with red trim, has multi colored dude with a recurve one the side and says BOWTECH on the front! Was quite pricey though..... almost a grand for a hat......

Oh almost forgot to mention. It also came with a bow :). Your typing at the proud owner of a 2006 Bowtech Tribute!!!!!!!! thank you thank you.....ahhhhh but the tossing rose petals at me is a bit much :D

So far i have the tribute, a trophy taker shakey hunter, 1/2 dozen PSE/CF hunter 300s(all they had, hope they're good) scott lilgoose. They also sold me a Block for a little off.........mighty nice of them [&:].

The BruteFroce is gonna donate the Copper Johns dead nuts for now.

I still need a stabilizer/damperner, a peep sight (forgot to have them put the peep on), and a quiver.

which peep do you guys recommend? never have been found of the shurzapeep.......

what about quiver.....alpine soft lok looks good but may go with a hip quiver.......

stabilizers are tough to pic also.......thinking a stealth, vibracheck or maybe axium.......don't know yet......

I'm so excited!!!!! took the mathews challenge and it failed, and the hoyts are just not attractive to me.....and everything else in the shop didn't draw or shoot as smooth as the bowtechs. i almost bought the alligance insted but a buddy of mine already has one and i like to be a bit different. plus the money that went to TAPS is pretty cool.

thanks guys for all your help and opinions!!!!

Wow, fantastic. Got any pictures of the hat? I suppose if the bow was in the background (being free and all) that would be ok as well. lol

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

being on dialup and all i think uploading pics of the hat is out of the question. sorry, it is a bad arse hat though ;)

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Cartman, e-mail them to me at [email protected] and i will post them for you, just email them before you go to work or before bed, this way you won't just sit there waiting for the email to be sent, just an idea.


later, Bo

Congratulations on the new hat, I paid $699 for my hat and got an Allegiance thrown in....;) See my sig for the rest of the setup.....

Ya know, I never thought of posting pictures of the hat. :D

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

the only thing i didn't like about those hats....is they want you to shoot a bowtech with it![:'(]

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Does it look like this?

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Congrats, cartman. I use a NiteHawk peep. You can get them in different sizes. I have tried several peeps with varying holes sizes and fiber optic attachements and the NiteHawk has been the best. Here a link. http://www.archerysportsusa.com/store/index.cfm/c31/

I'm using a 4 1/2" Vibracheck Isolator and it seems fine. It also looks good. The Limbsaver S-Coil is a very good stabilizer, looks good, and is unbelievably cheap for as good as it is.

Cna't help with the quiver. I always used Kwickees. I do like the Alpines but have never had any field experience with them.

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Congratulations! Those hats sure are nice!! I, and several others on here, prefers Fletcher's True Peep. With the quality strings BowTech puts on their bows, once you get it "shot in" you won't have to worry about rotation.

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

congrats man, I love my tribute. Did you get the smooth mods or the speed? Personally I've got the smooth mods. They're nice. I like them a lot. As far as quivers, alpines are decent. I don't keep one on the bow though (too much noise.) As far as stabilizers, the sims stabilizers are pretty good. (the modular system) pricey though at about $54.

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

thats awesome. i thought you were serious though about the hat. i just bought a new hat sunday lol. im still waitin for it to come in.

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Got me a hat AND a Mossy Oak Camo Wristband----.

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Are you susposed to get a hat with a new Bowtech? I hope so, my Tributeshould be in any day!!!!!!!!!

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

I've heard of Matthews hats going for about $699 but THEN you have to pay an extra $1 for the bow. It just didn't seem like that great of a deal to me. And to think you got the bow for free....what a steal! haha Hope you like the new bow!

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Stealth make's an awsome stabilizer ,to me anyway's .I also use a Fletcher Tru peep ,it come's in 3 size's so depending on what your shooting plan's are I'd check the Fletcher out ,if your hunting only go with the large peep ,if your shooting a bit of 3D and hunting try the medium size ,and if your shooting 3D only then you may want the small peep .
The Alpine Soft loc is a very nice quiver ,but the BowTech quiver isn't so bad either .

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Let's see I've got two Mathews hats, 3 Bowtech hats and a Ross hat (it really was free;)).
I may just be adding a new hat soon myself. I hope I don't get another black one though, don't need 2 of the same.

Congrats on the Tribute, how is the Trophy taker working on it and what mods did you go with?

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

thanks fellas for all the kind words and advice!!!

I went with the smooth mods. the buttery smooth draw cycle was worth the 6-10fps lose IMHO :)

since i bought it, ive taken my wife to three doctor appointments, ran errands and worked 70+ hours so i'm havent gotten to shoot it since i left the shop [:@]. In fact i just now got the CJs bolted on. they look pretty good but i'm eyeballing some SpotHoggs Hunter hoggits...... time will tell. I do know that i'll have to put some felt on the shelf under the trophy taker......otherwise therewill be a very nice "click" on release when it drops onto the riser..........

i mat get to fling some carbon out of it next week..........

are the PSE/Carbon Force Hunters good arrows? i bout some dominators for the old Brute last year they are the same arrow just camoed. any opinions on them?

I'm just gonna recycle the old stabilizer i have for now. Accu-Tech ring a bell. i think thats what it is. It's a 6 or 8 inch body and filled withs sand. Did a VERY good job at taming the Brute Force. the tribute doesn't need much.

thanks guys
type at you later

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Gotta be tought to wear all of 'em at the same time. Come to think of it must be hard to shoot all those free bows at once[8D]

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Congrats on the hat!!!! I got a new one this time last year!!!!!!:)

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Aight listen up!

I'VE got a bowtech gripe. Their black hats are MADE IN CHINA!

I was under the impression that once they ran out of the black chinese hat's they wouldn't reorder from that supplier, well maybe they are still on the original order(2 years later?),maybe their not- but the black onesat the dealer were sure enough of the chinese variety.

Stars and stripes all over the bows and chinese hats to go with them?

Give me "Made in the USA", it's a hat- the cost savings can't be THAT much.

OK I vented (same as I did 2 years ago on the same subject) carry on.....

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

DaveC I have to agree with ya bud.....I just checked my new Black Bowtech hat....made in China...comon Bowtech.[&:]

RE: bought me a hat monday ;)
 

Hey Rob, when I complained 2 years ago they mailed me a MADE IN USA camo bowtech hat- maybe if weall complained again they'd get the message???
