My 2010 Bowtech Sentinel in Optifade Forest
 

When I saw my shop's number in on my cell phone screen, I thought I would be picking up my Destroyer 340 last night. This was not the case and it actually works out better this way. 3D starts March 1st and I need this bow before the Destroyer anyhow. I ordered the Destroyer back in November when news of them broke and had ordered this bow January 12th. With my Air Raid spoken for, I was technically without a bow of my own and I had hoped that one of mine would come in so that I wouldn't have to borrow the bow that I just sold (haven't delivered yet) from my friend Tim.

Here's my 3D/hunting backup for the coming season. I never usually order standard camo and this one is no exception. Gore Optifade Forest. I took a ton of pics both outside and inside so you can see just what you are getting with this camo.









She's fitted with the following:
Viper Predator MT with .010 pins
11.5 Octane Stabilizer (I wrapped the inner tube with vinyl and added the pin strips)
Limb Driver with Silver cord to match the D loop
I added a insulating strip from Sims to the Flex Guard. (I didn't shoot it prior to installation to know if there was any affect from the FG, but there sure ain't now.)
I also have a Sling Braid coming for it to accent the camo as well.











I also opted to tie in my LD cord using Vapor Trail's new method instead of the split limb attachment. It's what I will have to do in the Destroyer, so I figured I would do it on the Sentinel as well. (Plus, I didn't have the split limb attach.)

Thanks for looking. After I get a peep installed up at Rob's, I will chono her up and post some specs. I'll be shooting 331 grain UL Pro 22's at 30.5 draw pulling 62ish pounds

Looks great Bro-I like that new Optifade with the green/grey. Glad to see them putting a decal on the limbs too. Looks spiffy :)

On a side note- Might wanna check your specs- looks like the supressor is putting too much pressure on the string-should be barely touching or just a hair off the string.

Thanks bud. I will check that. Haven't really shot her yet, just dressed her, tied the nock sets, leveled the rest, and put a loop on. Need to get to Rob's to press and peep. I will adjust that then.

I was pleasantly surprised when the shop called saying it was there. I hope to enjoy my "Commander with speed." :)

What you slinging these days...elite, hoyt, I can't keep up.:)

WOW!!!That is one sick looking bow! My friend has a 340 coming in with the same finish, judging from your pics he's going to freak out when he sees how awesome it looks.

Looks good, real good. Just got a 09 sentinel myself for 450NIB.

Looking good my freind!

looks real good man!!! wonder how it will blend.

Ryan.

Very cool looking!

Considering the specs I did not think my commander was all that slow- I was getting right under 300 FPS at 28.5" draw- for a 8" brace thats pretty darn tootin good! But yeah the Sentinel is def the quicker bow.

Nope- no more Elites for me- I *almost* bought a Judge- been through a couple BowTechs & back to Hoyt-Nothing wrong with BTs or Elites, just more accurate and consistent day to day with the C.5 bows than the binaries/slaved duals

Nice looking Bow!

Wooow what a great looking bow!! I really like the octane stab on there... let us know how she does when you starting firing some darts threw her..

I am loving the camo!!!

Thanks guys.
Put some arrows through it yesterday.

30.5 inch draw, 64 pounds, 334 grain arrow. 315 fps. Points and holds like a dream.

Isnt the opti fade camo an option at additional cost?--how much more is it over standard.
I thought about it when I got mt admiral last fall but for some reason I want to say it was pricey-.
Just asking

It does look sharp !!!

To be honest, I don't know yet. I haven't settled with my shop as I have another bow on order. I would bet it might be a 50 dollar upcharge, but my shop found a way to take care of that on a previous Bowtech for me. I would ask if I were you. To me, it's worth it.

thats a nice looking bow. i like the Optifade pattern

To be honest I cant remember what he said the optio fade camo option cost. I asked about getting my bow in it and he told me it was an extra cost . At that point in time It didnt matter what camo i got-- I just wanted my admiral :happy0001:.

Sweet Ben! Congrats!!

How did you get the Octane apart to put the material over the inner tube?

It unscrews at the bow end. Caution, the trick is to have the stabilizer in a plastic bag while you do this so that you do not dump out the little rubber things that fill the center of the inner tube.:)

Some of the ones we have taken apart have had to have a little heat put to them as well.

Ben, Bow looks sweet I dig the camo. I like the sims idea on the flex guard with the sims. I had one of those on my partiot in front of he grip. :cool15:

Thanks bud. As soon as I saw the pics of the FG, I knew that was what I wanted to do. Works good.
