RE: So who wants to hear about the 2006 Bowtech "Tribute" ??

Wow. I'm extremely shocked and dismayed about that. Don't know why they would want to go from a 32" to 30" on their longest bow. Doesn't make any sense to me.

RE: So who wants to hear about the 2006 Bowtech "Tribute" ??

Matt,

You've got the Const. draw length listed at 26-30". Is that correct? I sure hope not, or there will be a Hoyt in my future I'm afraid.
