Well tried out several bows today and after using my old ancient Golden Eagle i've developed a mind set for a "Bowtech" ,,Man!!,, after the first few drawings and firing that bow i was blown away,,could not believe how smooth it performed,,now i understand where the"wall" comes from since that feature in my older bow was essentially non existant those Bowtechs performed flawless,,rock solid,,i tested the Patriot and then the Defender which both being very nice but the Patriot i though was a little more to my fitting in all aspects and what blew my mind is that they are made in my home State.

..yeah,,i'm pretty much gonna go for a Bowtech.

idaho, you don't happen to live anywhere near Idaho do you???? Hey guy, Gander has a website you can look at, but there's nothing much on it, at least the last time I looked. From what I remember our manager saying, Gander sold the catalog sales rights to Cabelas about 8 years ago, and it was a ten year deal. So maybe, just maybe they'll go catalog again in two more years. Gander, I think, is stretching things thin with all the building, but we'll see. They built 11 new stores last year and I think it's going to be 8 this year. At least they are expanding. And what they are doing right is building medium sized stores in good areas. And I too remember the catalog I had way back when.

The reason I know about what happened to Golden Eagle is because I shot for them from 1997 to 1999. There was a year left on my contract, but you know what happens when a new owner comes along. All Bear could think of is cutting expenses, and I was one of them. I'm not bitter. I moved onto better things, but I just think it's very sad what a bunch of INVESTORS can do to some tried and true companies.

You've gotten lots of good advice and the best has been shoot alot of bows before you decide. There are so many great bows out there today and no matter what one guy likes you might like the feel of something different. My brother-in-law just bought the Switchback and he is very pleased with it. I on the other had bought the Bowtech Allegiance and like it equally. So don't sell yourself short and shoot alot of bows before you decide. When you shoot the right one you'll know it and it might not neccesarily be the most expensive one. I know some guys that have shot all bows and wound up shooting what is considered a lesser bow (by whos standards I don't know) because it felt the best.GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DECISION.
