Default UPDATE: Traded Trykon for a Bowtech

Today was the big day. I went to the bow shop after work to make my trade. I drew back about every Bowtech they had and decided on the Tribute. I got everything off the Trykon and had it installed.

This bow is quiter and feels alot more comfortable to me than the trykon. I just got done sighting in my top pin and just shot the best group I ever have, no joke. My first 3 arrows were touching and the forth got a bit low and to the right b/c my arm was tired. The limbs are to the max and I might just leave them like that. It shot 291 with my current arrow setup and I believe the weight of the arrows is 360 grain.

I'm really happy with this purchase. Can't wait to break it in. I'm also breaking in the Bowtech hat I received. Well, I be back on tomorrow. Going to a fiddlers convention tonight.

It always feels nice to shoot something that feels comfortable in your hand and to you.

You should really enjoy that Tribute. Congrats on switching to a bow more to your liking. Some people would have just dealt with it and never known what they were missing out on.

BTW I picked the Tribute as well for my latest bow and have been shooting it a few months now. It's biggest plus in my mind is the string & cables don't budge. Set them where you want and they'll stay there (or at least mine did) My biggest gripe is my string thing silencers didn't last long (200 or so shots).

So are you shooting smooth or speed mods?
