Default Depressed....No Bow.

I had to sell my Mathews LX, it was an older model but I loved it, killed alot of deer with it. But I had to sacrafice some things in my life right now due to not being able to find a job, and bills are piling up. Cant even get a interview at sewer places because I am "over qualified" and other places more technical I dont have the "experience". Seems there are thousands fighting for those inbetween jobs.

Anyways, when things do turn around, I am thinking of totally changing things up, just for something different. I may look hard at Hoyt and Elite bows, go to a whisker biscuit instead of a drop away, try a new broadhead other than muzzy, definately get a different stabilizer and sight. The only thing I will keep the same is my release, TruBall Copperhead and my arrows GoldTip 5575's.

Anyone else ever done this? Were you happy with the new set up, or did you go back to what was "normal" to you???

Hang in there dude, things will get better (when though, right?).

I think you'll like the switch-over to HOYT!!! You know you really want to anyways, I mean, who doesn't want to shoot a HOYT!? LOL

It would be a good time for you to check out some new items. If you're bow-less right now, I'd def. keep an eye out over on the AT classified sections, there's always great deals on bows over there and even if you're not looking to buy now, you can atleast get an idea as to what's out there.

There was an '07 Hoyt Vectrix for sale for like $375 last night, not a bad deal.

Hang in there!!! God has a reason for everything..keep your chin up. Technology has really changed in bows from your old LX. You will like the change, once things get going better with your work.

Definitely go to Blue Ridge! I've bought ALL my stuff there, and there is none better in Central IL. Their inventory is amazing, so you'll be able to shoot plenty of different bows. Sorry to hear about the job situation.

Keep sending out those resumes and something good will come to you. Good things come to those who deserve it.
