Nice Matt. Have fun today. Like the Bandit reference.[8D]

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
There isn't a whole lot quite like seeing that brand new bow box waiting for you. It takes cardboard boxes to the next level!:D

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
One more quick note before I disappear to my archery room for a couple hours..........[:-]
You remember how I harped about the speeds and how Bowtech was maybe being conservative and keeping the advertised number toward the top end etc etc. so everyone would be happy?? Yeah my Birth Certificate officially reads..........71.2# (bottomed), 29" (have to measure but actually feels a touch short?) = 314fps TheAdmiral is ratedat 312-320fps top end, and that 314fps birth certificate number was shot with 2 string silencers, brass nock set and 2 eliminator buttons. So all indications on my bow is that even if I knock it back the 1# it's overit would probably do close to the top end speed with a bare string........AT 29".;) Oh happy day. Once again........later suckers.:D |
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Matt, posting a teaser pic of a Bowtech box is grounds for a sack punch, lets see the goods bud;)

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Lucky man. Looking forward to the review and pictures. Maybe you will get to strike your new hero shot pose with it, too.

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
The only thing that I have had to get me excited about was when all of my new plumbing fixtures that Iordered show up at my house while I was at work one day. Wanna trade? :D

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Did they really leave that on your door step like that cause you wasnt home? Looks like a good opportunity to get ripped off.

When we gonna see this thing.....I saw you post and the background music for Jaws started playing in my head as I opened the link.[8D]

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
DONE
 -Set my draw length to 30" AMO and the stop (which is AWESOME by the way) -Set my rest height and centershot -served in my nock sets, and tied a new loop -removed the factory eliminator buttons -marked my peep height, turned it out to relax and installed the peep and tied everything in -tightened it back up, everything looks perfect! 3 shots later at 6ft (after 1 minor rest adjustment)  after 2 more consecutive bullet holes at 6ft, back to 8yds........... No problemo. :)  She's is officially tuned, sighted in to 50 yards and ready to hunt..........not a bad late morning/early afternoon's effort. :) Here you can see the adjustable rotating module, thicker and reinforced limb ends, and the new bolt through axle system.  The new Center Pivot limb technology  It feels similar to the General to me on the shot. (I have one of exactly the same specs here) but the draw feels more "round" and smoother in transition, and to my ears it's a bit quieter and feels even MORE dead in the hand. The thing is SICK. I mean flat out SICK. The real obvious performance difference, the arrows look like laser beams coming off the bow compared to the General.  This puppy is FAST.I'll have to break out the chrono later and see what it's doing exactly but man is it spitting them. It's such a weird sensation shooting it to feel so little but have the arrows whipping downrange so quickly. It's the real deal folks. Mark my words.[:-] And oh yeah, as outfitted: Spot-Hogg "Real Deal" sight Octane Hostage Pro rest OCtane 7" stabilizer w/ LImbsaver enahncer for giggles A thick hush kit silencer on the sight and a Bowjax one on the supressor (again for giggles :D) Wrist sling Octane 1 piece quiver mount. The WHOLE package weighs...............5.33lbs. [:-]:) |
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Very nice Matt, What is the rubber "end" on your stab? Is thatlimbsaver little bugger? Looks like something I saw once....Not a bad idea if it is.

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Shwinnggg! Sorry little Wayne's World moment.:D
|
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Sweet rig.
|
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Matt, that's an awesome looking rig, sounds like they took care of the few deficiencies that the General had.Can't believe it could be quieter or more shock-free?? How does it feel weight-wise compared to the General? I likedmy Generalok except for the draw and the bulky feel.
|
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Matt, I figured you would shoot a WAY longer draw length than that. I figured you'd be longer than 28.25" to the back of the grip.
I mean, everyone describes you as a giant, which from the pictures you look it :D Sweet looking rig, it's hard to imagine quieter and more dead than the General. |

LOL :D I like to stay just a touch behind the shot for my hunting bows for those weird angles etc you can find up in a tree. |
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Wow, that is one sweeeet looking rig! I don't think I can stand up from behind my desk for a few minutes! :D
|
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Matt, that is a nice set up you have there. I am a little jealous;). So when are you gonna hunt with it?
Shane |
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
So are you taking the trad equipment tomorrow, or are you going to try and get the Admiral bloody?

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Looks great, Matt.

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Very nice Matt. I'm definitely envious.:D
|
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
ORIGINAL: Rick James So are you taking the trad equipment tomorrow, or are you going to try and get the Admiral bloody? :) If I DON'T kill anything in the AM it will be longbow again for the evening or maybe the recurve. Probably Admiral on Monday for sure. I have too much time and effort invested in this opening day ambush, so I gotta try it with the longbow. I think it's gonna happen. I'm a mess.:D |
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Good luck, Matt.
Now if they'd just make a "Chief" model, I'd buy it even if it was a Bowtech.:D |
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
How much do these bows retail for? I just called a dealer in Albany, NY and they want nearly 800 for the Admiral bare bow!!!!! and yes they are in stock
|
RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
now thats one sweet looking bow right there.
