Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

.....Hate me because the FedEx driver was at my house today. ;)



My 08' Diamond Marquis and Bowtech General........now where is that darn Airborne 82nd??:D

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I love the looks and specs of that Marquis. I need to get to the shop and see if they have one in yet. Which one do you like better Matt?

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I hate you....[:@]






No, just kidding.;)NICE bow! I want one...:(

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

No clue.........just threw some crap on them for the picture. Haven't fired a shot yet.
:)
The General may very well be the coolest looking bow I've ever seen. I have a feeling I am going to gravitate toward that one. I may change my mind when the Airborne 82nd gets here. Nothing like throwing 340fps+ into the mix to confuse a guy. ;)

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I hate you too! The pro shop hasn't got his in yet so I have to wait.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I like my old beat up bows. It will take you years to get some charater in those bows.:D


Them there are to perty to shoot. You need to go throw them in a mud puddle and some thorn bushes.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I guarantee you now , i will have a marquis next year. That is a nice looking bow , i gotta try one . Matt you are a real lucky guy .

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Ok enough messing around...... heading downstairs to play. :)

Gonna bedeciding on abow for IL in a few weeks. ;)LOL

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Let us know how it goes...you lucky dog.:D

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

holy smokes those are both gorgeous bows. Let me know what you think of the Diamond Marquis, I am very interested in it.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Wow...Love the look of that General!

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I really like the Marquis, I wonder how much I can get one of those for...[:-]

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

That is some nice looking equipment you got there. I am truly jealous. As soon as you get some work with them, let us know how they are doing and which you like better.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Shouldn't have wasted your money and bought a MATHEWS...........

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

What burnie said, Plus who ever said you was beautiful besides you? :D

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Very nice....ya know.....if Bowtech would need another shooter........

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Sweet, Matt...that means you're going to be in the best position to give us a side by side comparison. Make sure to fire the chrono up. ;)

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Isn't there an Airborne 101 too? Man, Bowtech is making it hard for me to keep to my promise to the wife that I won't get a new bow until I shoot 10 deer with this one.[:@]

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I think you should send the General to me since you had such good luck with the traditional this year. Why would you want to go back to a bow with training wheels, or two of them, after killing that great buck with the traditional stick.

PM me if you need my shipping address...;)

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

To think you shot the biggest buck with a stick and string:D

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Thats disgusting:D

Great lookin bows man!!!

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I know the next step was like a boomerang or maybe a rubber band and paper clips but I'm not sure I'll get enough KE. :D

I'm going to IL for 10 days.Icalled it before the season and I'm sticking to it, traditional for PA, high tech for IL.
I don't want to push my luck, it's time to extend my personal space a bit.;)

I just got done shooting them quite a bit and WOW they are both really sweet. Different draw cycles, and feel at full draw, the General is absolutely unreal with respect to shot feel. HOLY SMOKES> It honestly has less recoil and vibe than the Guardian. I don't know what I'm going to wind up with accessory wise on each but I think the General is going to get the nod. Its a little slower but more compact, higher brace height and the shot is so smooth it's almost stupid. I need to get the speed mods for it and my draw length too. They both have the 29's in them and I need the 29.5" mods.
I will get a peep in each and start to tune em' both in the next few days.

With the General I was concerned with how the cams would track being of such a high profile and no split yokes on the rigging but wow they are absolutley gorgeous. straight up and down and the string track is dead down the center of each center groove. I would venture to say that is the nicest I have seen string/ cam alignment on any bow I've owned.

I'll probably settle on one and get it dialed in only to have the Airborne roll in the week before I leave.......knowing me I'll freak out and start over days before I leave.
It's been done before. 3 or 4 years ago I took a Patriot out of the box at 1:30, tuned it and dialed it in and killed a nice buck at 3:30 only 2hrs later. The cardboard shipping box cover scent worked wonders. LOL:D

I'm not?![:-]:(

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Matt.....do you get all these free???

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Free makes it sound so.......cheap. ;)

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

LOL!!!:D

Yer dang lucky!

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I was laughing at the guy who deigned to say something about "wasting your money"... [8D]

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

You have peaked my interest with that General. I need to find a retailer in my area now.
TY for sharing.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Me too. especially because he said "buy a mathews" at the end;)

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Hate me too....[8D] I must have the same fed-ex guy Matt does.........only thing is my came with 29" mods:( I need, at worst, 27" mods. so we will see i want to set it up for Montana. I leave in two weeks[&:]

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

OK Frank... I'll hate you because you're leaving for Montana! [8D]

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I don't hate you, Matt. It's just more stuff for you to bring to Rob's, now!!:D:D

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

..i've already put the meat in the freezer

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Is the Marquis the sameriser as the Airbornes and that new Gander Mountain bow?

Good looking bows.........

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Exactly and I cannot wait! ;)

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Matt..................YOU SUCK!!!![8D] Just kidding(maybe);).

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

I tell you what, since you like the bowtech so much better I'll take that diamond off your hands:DI'll even pay for shipping;)lol

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

And I thought we were going to see another recurve....Oh well...:(

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

Matt, you can send me your 2007 models if you want. I will even pay shipping. Nice looking bows. I am still shooting my 04 Patroit.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

lol 04 Patriot, your so out dated. How about a 97 Bear. So old it didn't even have a different model.

RE: Don't Hate me because I'm beautiful!!........
 

RJ,

That Marquise riser and configuration looks like a single cam Tribute to me.

I bet there isn't much difference in specs betwen a smooth mod Tribute and Marquise. Of course that is
the point since the Tribute will be extinct next year.
