RE: Rank your top three:
I believe it's in Creswell, just south of Eugene...at least that is what I was told last night. I do wish they did tours, as I would love to see how they do it all and the technology behind it.
I was just down at the bow shop, and most of the fellas I spoke with down there agree that the Spot-Hogg is the real deal.....as it should be, they are 120 beans!!! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Not sure I'll be going that route, as that is a tad more than I want to spend on sites. Maybe I can wait it out and find one on ebay in the next few months for 70 or 80 bones.
Thanks fellas for all the input...and yet again, keep them coming!

*I am going to buy a PSE Firestorm (had a Hoyt MagnaTec....HATED it)in the very near future, and just wanting to get some feedback on what everybody likes from their personal experiences.....just in case you were curious.

RE: Rank your top three:
Here's my thoughts:
Stabilzers 1) Stealth 2) GFK Tranquilizer 3) Doinker
Rests 1) Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter 2) Trophy Taker
3) Muzzy Zero Effect
Sights 1) HHA Optimizer Lite 2) Impact Archery Cosmic Air Lite
3) Spott Hogg
This is just hunting set-ups.
Good Luck!!
PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

Chad, The Corporate Office is in Creswell but the plant is in Eugene. They are planning on building a new building soon so they can merge the two together.

RE: Rank your top three:
BT, aren't they also going to expand (maybe they already have?) to the North or South Carolina as well? I thought I had read that somewhere???
How do you like your BT? With all the speed they generate, have you sacraficed any accuracy at longer distances? I really haven't checked them out too thoroughly, but do they have decent brace heights?
Are you from the area? My 'shop' is kinda The Bow Rack, just because I like the owner so much, and I wish they carried them just for comparative purposes, but the only place that carries them in town is a really junky shop in Springfield(hope I am not offending you...my luck you probably own it!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>), or at least it was the last time I was there a year or so ago. He had about 3 bows and an old bottle of pee buried in the corner under some boxes...lol. Nice fella, but how he kept those lights burning is beyond me.

RE: Rank your top three:
I use 3 rests for hunting depending on what I want out of it.
1. Golden Premier, Mirage and Golden Premier Fall Away
2. Golden Key Tranquilizer and ECO.
3. Toxonics Hybrid V on main bow and a Sniper on my backup bow.

I don't where the Carolina thing came from but that a big no...
I live in Ohio.
No offense taken but I do know Jaimee Coleman the owner of Hook and Arrow pretty well. He's a good guy trying to make a living working two jobs...
I'm pretty sure the Bow Rack is in Eugene and can't sell them because of the territory rights that Hook & Arrow have...You may want to go there again from what I hear he's gotten more stock and more help...Worth another try I'd say.
Notavegetarian from these boards went there and really liked the shop...
I really like my bows but that doens't meant they're for everyone out there.
I don't see the speed of my bows being any hinderence to my accuracy it just means the arrow gets their faster and hits harder...
They offer many different brace options to choose from (from 5 3/4" up to 9 1/4" in 2003)...My suggestion would be to go try them all out and see what suits you best.
