My thoughts are congrats on the bow and on having a fine shop to do business with. It's hard to find a good shop and it sounds like you've got one.

Now that you've got your bow put some notches in it.

I have been to that particular shop many times, since my uncle wayne lives in Roseau, and thats where we deer hunted for a few years.They are awsome people with a good rep! I am glad that you went to them. Hope you enjoy the bow, and have a great season! Keep in touch.

ORIGINAL: buckinrut1980

Let me start off by saying I purchased my bow from Streiffs Sporting Goods in Warroad, Minesota. Having never shot a bow before I was a little nervous about how good of a shot I'd be. I was fitted for my bow by Nick. Talk about excellent service. Nick spent four hours with me explaining the features of the bow, the accessories and proper shooting technique. To tell you the truth I din't beleve him when he told me "before you leave I'll have you consistently hitiing the bullseye at 20 yards".

I shot the PSE x-force, Mathews Drenalin, and Hoyt Vextric. I went with the Hoyt after a considerable amount of time shooting all three. Everytime I shot the Drenalin I could feel vibrations in my hand. After my bow was loaded up with accessories two of my last four shots were bullseyes. I ended up buying a GPS, Glendel Full rut Buck, and some Raingear after I was through shooting my bow. After spending a little over $2,000 Nick gave me a farly high discount on everything I purchased. He also gave me a few Calenders, Three hats, and a DVD.

I can't say enough good things about the staff at Strieffs. If you want excellent service go and see Nick.

Congrats on the new bow...and welcome to the forums. Another Hoyt shooter from Minnesota...
