Went to the big city today to Christmas shop and went to GMt,went back to the bow area and asked the guy when The new recurve was going to be in from 10point they had no clue to what I was saying they kinda went awww what,(THEY SELL TEN POINT)then I said never mind then I looked over and they had a Stryker hanging up and it was blown up,I asked why they had it right out front,it wassaid it was the only one they had?????.So what are they doing haveing a DS on display thats blowen.......mymymy.......I would have that in the back were no one could see it.......
I wonder what the guy thought that had it blow up on him............

just had to say this,it was bugging me....

He probably thought he should get a TenPoint Phantom instead. (sorry, couldn't resist)

In defense of the guys at Gander, I am just now putting the TenPoint 08 stuff out there. The catalog does not even exist yet. They won't have a good grasp of what's new for a couple months. That will be when catalogs start to get out to them.

Maybe he did after that blew up.......
I thought about that too but if I worked in a Archery store I would try to be up on all thebrands I sold, but then again they could of just been working for the money part of it....Iam holding off untill May/June before I buy one anyway....The snowmoble and Christmas broke me....

a little off topic, but I've been working on a new GM store since sept, in fact me and the guy working with me just got done hanging all the plywood and steel plating in the archery range just yesterday(thursday)

I told the boss I was going to bring my bow in next week and test it out...
if nothing else at least I'll have the bragging rights of being the first guy to shoot a bow in the new GM store's archery range



like thats something to brag about anyway...

This is going to get interesting. 10 pt's new recurves take 350 gr arrows,their compounds need 430 gr or so. When the 10 pt speed freaks try the 350's in the compounds, Duck!! I was looking forward to the 10 pt recurves, but I already got a Phoenix and know what it will do. Even though this is the time of year for hype and spin, I am somewhat disgusted by a post on another forum how a 34" wide bow can be 3"-4" narrower than the "competition" which is only 36" wide. I don't like getting bs'ed.

plywood and steel plating dont make good targets jk.

I feel your pain..Ican hear the splinters from here.
But this why we do our homework right? A decent bow can easily be buried by BS.
Facts are a wonderful tool, I caught that too. A good reminder of why I shoot the competition.

I spoke my mind kinda but if someone is playing a BSslam compitition thing then I have real problem,there are two people I have delt with and we all know one that comes here who is very goodand the other gal/opps is also avery good person.So this really surprises me on what was said,weather it be lack of knowlage or what it didnt do them much good.......Iam alittle upset now....

That was the main reason most shops that sold Horton's stopped selling the lighter arrows for the steel force. Guys had visions of a lighter arrow and more speed so they where buying the arrow that said right on the box for the steal force and then shooting out of there 175# bows. It will be funny to hear about the dumb butt that does this with a 1500 dollar CB! Not Tenpoints fault, but it will be done.


That is one of two things. That is either showing how ignorant that poster was, or a act of misinformation. If a guy makes a post like that then he should have all the facts. If there is a CB out there that is wider and he does not consider Excal there main competition in the recurve market then they are far enough back on the train that Excal should never have to worry. If he is purposely posting bogus information then it's nice to see the kinda people they have representing for them.

I also heard the same guy is the one that shot the world record CB buck with a Horton. Then tried to use his dream buck as a tool to make MONEY off Horton for his deer, and now is a TenPoint rep. To me that is misleading since he is with TenPoint and that will mislead people to think he shot his buck with a TenPoint. The guy is not lying about it, but also does not promote that he shot it with a Horton. Looks like some are just in it for the cash and not the fact of getting a lifetime buck.

I find it comical that Horton and now TenPoint have recurves to offer. In the past both have proclaimed the vast advantages of the compound and how it is better. Excal has always sold the recurve because of quality. SO now that others have the recurve, is it because they where wrong, or are just in it for a piece of the market? Not saying it is bad, but makes me wander when Horton's web site used to say all the disadvantages of recurves, now suddenly they are ok.

Out of the box 10point is a awsome bow,top of the line when it comes to compound in my book.
