the UPS guy today. [:@]

I found a slip for a missed delivery from Walla Walla on my door tonight. I already called UPS and had it rerouted to stay at the UPS hub so I can pick it up for a little smackdown roadtrip this weekend. I will be there to pick up my new toy at 9am sharp when they open. I will post more tomorrow when I get a chance to look it over and grope it for a while..........[8D]

Well we're all expecting pictures! And be gentle on the groping part, carressing may be more appropriate here buddy! You want this relationship to last... don't move too quickly. Also buy her some nice accessories, make her look pretty too.

Alright guys.....I went and got it this morning.

First impression........this bow is absolutely gorgeous. It's a new Martin Scepter 4 with the longer elite limbs, and new furious X cams in chameleon color. Specs on this bow are 43" ata, and 8" brace height. It will end up around 55lbs draw and 30.5". This one is going to be setup as my indoor specific bow and once summer rolls around it will be used for field archery and FITA as well. The grip is very similar to that of the Apex 7 with a slightly higher wrist. The color of the bow is by far the best target color bow I have ever seen, this finish is really that nice. It is very similar in quality to the Bowtech chrome target colors, but the colors on this thing change. It's amazing.........

Unfortunately I did bring my camera but no USB cord to upload pics to my PC to share. APAJaws and I are headed out to hang with the guys at Copper John/Stan for the weekend and shoot for a bit, hopefully they will have a draw board so I can get the draw length on this perfect and then I can get it timed and hopefully some shots on it to settle the string/cables and then hopefully get it fully setup next week. When I get back I will update with pics and a full review of my first impressions.

I thought you were going to say you missed one of the X-es on a five spot target so mabey us other guys would have a spitting chance.[8D]

It is so difficult to get the lighting right to do this color justice. It is quite simply stunning to look at, it changes from yellows to greens to purples to blues when moved. It's not completely setup quite yet, I am still messing with stabilizers, weights, draw length, and timing to get things where I want them exactly. I hope to get a set of gibblet strings soon too probably in flour green/purple color.

Here are a few pics to look at anyhow.......

Dude, that is absolutely.......GORGEOUS!! Is that like Chromillusion paint or something?? Simply amazing.

I know it's for target shooting, so speed isn't important, but how fast is she?

This one is supposed to be around 305 or so IBO speed, not that fast. My second custom bow should be delivered to our local Martin rep any day now and that one is on the same color Scepter 4 riser with the shorter Mag limbs and a nitrous C base cam with the X cable system, that one will be about 38" ata and 7.5" brace height and an honest 320+fps IBO. That will be a 3D specific bow...........
