How about this for a tune?

Paper tune




Or how about broadhead and field point at 22 yards.

The torture test is great but they shoot too.

OH,and for those wondering,the feathers ARE the Mean V feathers I special ordered.

Congrats on the new Bow!! I shot one and was very very impressed.

Here's a review Greg/MO made of the feathers in question. He is a Mod and long time respected member of HNI http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/bowh...ve-winner.html

Jeff as far as BowTech making changes it seems you are badly misinformed as usual. I resigned because IMHO Customer Service had slid to levels that were unacceptable to me. I had talked about this problem last year and was considering resigning but was assured they knew of the pronlem and were making moves to correct it. I did Not feel like they did so I left, my decision. I was not the only one to resign from staff or from the company itself. They lost another Top Employee by resignation this week.

He even sold me feathers that were not listed on his web site after I made a call and told him what "I" wanted.He had Just enough and sent them to me and were sent out the same day at no extra charge.


I don't know Dan other than here and I see him standing up for what "he" believes.I have no issues with his customer service or products but I can see where personalities could clash on the net.

But hey,I have my new Element now and it is freaking awesome.

Yea,I was pleasantly surprised.This has been the usual For me and Hoyt over the years but last years bow just wouldn't tune like this and I was really hesitant to get another short A-A bow but after looking at the subtle changes they made,I was fairly confident they had resolved the issues "I" had.

Todd, I talked to Greg after I shot the Element and I told him "I don't care how much Hoyt sells the Element for they are going to sell a ton of them this year"

I'm waiting on some Maitland Retributions to make it here and depending on how I like them after shooting one. My personal bow will either be an Element or a Retribution

Heck if work picks up I might just have both!

I don't really give a rat's ass why you're gone.

You say you're happy.....and I'm sure they are. I couldn't care less.

But, do these new bowtech concerns mean you and bigbulls are seeing other people, now?

So, I guess if a person is planning on buying a new bow, they should should take into account Bowtech's poor customer service and make their purchase accordingly. What good is buying a bow like the Destroyer if the customer support is crappy.
