Certainly was an event to be proud of. Happy for your good fortune (others as well).Very good picture! What camera did you take it with. Jumps right out!

Hey Josh that press looks like it's right in the way of the cams? Definitely covering the timing holes? Looks the same in your pic too Rob?

Wash, you live about as far as you can get and still be in the states...beside AK of course....you better start driving now...

WhitBri, that's a great bow for you and prolly always will be but what I said to Q2IN...., better shoot them all...he switched from a Q2 to the Trykon, you never know until you shoot them.

TRYKON....., I give out the HROAP, I don't receive them. ,

Josh, great press isn't it, that was the first time I used it, I'm impressed. I have an Apple in the basement, I can tweak the Bowtech with it if I'm careful but on Matt/PA's recommendation, I bought the Bowmender and am glad I did, the Switchback doesn't fit the Apple and now I have a portable press to use, between the two...I'm set.

DaveC, thanks...

krabbie, sounds like a great time. The G5 worked great in his factory string and with the loop he was shooting I had it coming in line perfect every shot, he was also impressed. He had removed another type peep some time ago and wasn't using one...he now loves it but he can elaborate on that if he wants.

nodog, a digital Fuji something or another...I love digitals...and yes, it does somewhat block the timing holes but if you look you can rely on it...

I totally agree Rob, all the bows by the top manufacturers are quality these days; what it boils down to is personal preference.What little things make a bow a fit to an individual over another one. The benefits from one company to another can sometimes be minute in scope to the bigger picture -- even though we tend to highlight and focus on them. The bigger picture, as you put it, is the fact that we're all bowhunters.

It's funny, you know. In here, I'll discuss features and benefits and have fun discussions with someone over the advantages of one piece of equipment over another... But when I meet any bowhunter on the street, it's like, "Hey brother, I'm glad you're one of us..." I mean, I'm glad someone's one of us in here, too...

After all these years I received an HROAP...I'm touched..thanks brother.

I got off the phone with tkycaller...I really had a great time yesterday, great bows, great company and great....well on my part, good shooting guys.

Seriously guys, I've got to tell you, I visit a couple other sites and I think everyone here gets it more than most.

Ford, Chevy, Dodge....The battles will never end. Part of having choices.

Rob,
...Iwas wondering about the G5 peep you installed in the Mathews bow. Does it still have the factory string and if so did it work pretty well? I was thinking about putting one in my XT and getting away from the tubing.
I have a G5 on my bow and love it! It is a great peep and when I put it on my bow...the tubing came off and haven't needed to use the tubing since!

I must be an idiot or something. I have never saw how you can let off on a rachet strap slowly. It is either free wheeling or locked, isn't it? If not, what brand of strap is being used?

with this one, you can move the rachet up one click, push in the retaining metal peice, and it will let out 2 clicks of rope. really easy to do, even with my giant fingers
