Default "I swear I won't buy one tonight..."

...were the words I had uttered approximately 30 minutes prior to purchasing my new Bowtech Old Glory!!!!

Every Tuesday my wife and I head to the bow shop to shoot (both targets and the breeze) at Blueridge Backwoods, and last night I decided I wanted to shoot a couple bows just so I had an idea when the time came to buy one, which was by no means supposed to be last night. Well, the Old Glory came out on top between the Switchback LD, Trykon XL, and the Old Glory. I now see why Bowtech people are fanatical about their bows. This thing is awesome!

Here's the setup:

Old Glory 70# @ 32"

Cobra Diamondback Rest

Tru-Glo Brite Site Extreme

Easton XX78 2413 arrows (full length)

Now let the games begin!

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Took me a second. Very funny!

Rob, you got that right! I fell in love with it when I shot it. I never in a million years thought I would get a Bowtech, I hadn't even handled one before, let alone shot it, since I have been staring at the Hoyts for a couple months and my wife got herself a Hoyt. But, the bow spoke for itself and now he has a happy home!

I'll get the pics up ASAP! The digital cam should be back any day. Something went wrong with the screen after like 3 uses so Cannon said they would fix it on the house, and we took them up on the offer!
