Default Got My New Bow

BowTech 2006 Tribute, mass wgt. 4.1 lbs., axle to axle 31 ½“, brace hgt. 7 ½“, smooth mod, 51#, 27 ¾” draw
Air-Rest
Sight – Vital Gear, Pro Hollow Pino Single Pin
Arrows – Easton, LightSpeed 500, 26” length, 6.5 grains per inch
Grim Reaper Razortip Broadhead 85 grains
Release - The Judge Camo Buckle

I have a lot of practicing to do before this falls deer season. The last time I shot a bow mechanical releases were not legal so I use to finger shoot. I have a lot to learn all over again but I'm very excited. What impresses me the most about this bow is how quiet it is.

Congratulations on your purchase; I know you're gonna really enjoy it.

I finally decided on a new sight for my Trib and started shooting it regularly a few days ago; before that, I had really only been shooting my Allegiance for the most part.

You're right: it's one quiet little machine!

Now all you need is something to kill. Go poke some holes in a target. Congrats on the new wheels.

I missed that about the air rest. I'd really like to know your thoughts on it after you shoot it a while too. I'm sure the whole board would. Let us know how it works please.

I have been shooting every day since I got it and love everything about it. As far as the air-rest goes, so far it's great and it is as advertised, the real test will be this fall when hunting. If I had to find something negative I would say because of the powerful magnets in the arrow shaft you must put the fletching through first when stringing an arrow. So it is a little inconvenient but every thing else is outstanding. Here is a link http://www.bowhunting.net/artman/pub...lAirRest.shtml
