**BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Hey guys.......as some of you jealous types already know I picked up my BowTech Liberty yesterday![:-]:)

Some of you have been wanting to see the details of the riser, and just a few better pics of the bow in general.

As well as the new Mossy Oak "Obsession" camo pattern.

I think these pics give you a pretty good look, especially at the machining in the riser, very sweet!.......if there's anything else you would like me to photograph on the bow just ask, I have a decent digital camera and a hair trigger.;)
There's 4 pics so give them a second or two to load they're pretty nice.

2.Pivoting Limb Pocket/upper riser

I would like to request a photograph of ME holding MINE!!

GREAT pics! Thanks for posting them.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

You Shut up! You already got a 2004 bow![:@]





Awesome pics Matt. Now I'm really jonesing for mine :(.....

That new camo looks MUCH nicer than the Advantage Timber AFAIC.

Machining looks awesome as do the pockets!

How 'bout a close up of the cam, please? :)

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Sweet![8D] Matt, you are doing it to me again;)
Thanks for the pics.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Ask and you shall receive![8D]




And the idler for Jeff too cause I know that's the next request[8D]


CamoHunter,
Doin' what!? I don't have any idea what you are talking about.;)

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

HEY....... Does that thing got a hemi.............SWEET

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Great pics Matt.
Now I also have a pic request.
Can you snap a shot of the new shelf side and back shots if you would be so kind.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

WOW, what a great looking bow:D I really like the looks of that cam, it looks very well "balanced" and I see a little bit of Proline's design on the post feed side where the cable comes around the axle. It this case it looks like the cable comes around the bearing "housing". COOL:D I really like the idler also, kinda reminds me of a whitetail's rack!!! Can't wait till I see one in my hands also!!! Thanks Matt!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Yeah Vic, I don't care how big you are, I agree with Jeff!

:D

Matt,

Sweeett lookin' bow my friend....but I have a pic request as well. Can you take a front shot of either limb so I can get a better look at the camo? :)

....and can you get a nice shot of the sight window from either the front or back. I would like to see how sharp that angle in the riser is.

Thanks.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Can you also post a picture of your Mickey Mouse slippers and underoos?...;):D

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

I really...really don't want to see that one.

Please do not honor Pat's request. ;)

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Dang, I opened the wrong topic. Thought this was a Martin 2004 bow I was gonna see!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

I thought the underoos were Hulk!


I mean ..uh.. that's what somebody told me.

How did you get such clear pics. Is it the quality of the camera or do you know how to set up the lighting better?

Oh yeah, I do have a 2004.....but also a short attention span.

How did you get such clear pi.......oops, see what I mean.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

I think I just peed myself...

What a phenomenal looking bow. These pics and 500fps' Samson pics look so much better than the bowtech online pics...

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Don't look at me Matt- I ain't gonna help ya whoop up on these guys. Personally I'm LMAO.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Since some of us actually have to do some work today......;) I will try to get those pic requests up tonight.
And leave my Underoos out of it until i can properly defend myself. Thanks for nothing Big John!:D

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

I think BJ is still upset that you didn't send him any of your last batch of pierogies and halupkies...;). Serves you right if you didn't. :)

Matt,

Disregard part of my request as all the photos did not load initially when I read your post. I would just like to see the front/rear shot of the riser itself.

Thanks.

Vic,

I believe it to be a combination of the lighting, the resolution capability of the camera and the distance that the photo was taken from. I have a hard time with my 1.2 megapixel digital when taking close up shots. It just doesn't want to seem to focus to my tastes.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

I think BJ is still upset that you didn't send him any of your last batch of pierogies and halupkies... . Serves you right if you didn't. Naw- I'm waiting for a good free for all, with 5-shot involved, then me & Matt & mr4pt will go eat perogies afterwards.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

That is one nice bow right there!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Damnit! I'm still HUNTING and don't have time to shop so for the love of God quit teasing me!:D

That does look sweet though! Is that idler a lot bigger or am I drunk??

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Kelly, way bigger. These F cam bows shoot awesome. The draw is so smooth, and the shot is too.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Awesome looking bow .What kind of speed are we talking and what kind of price compared to the Patriot more or less ?

nubo

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

HEY I like pierogies!!:) Count ME in. Great pics MATT.

BUt I do agree with JEFFB. Nobody likes a show off ..MR. 2004 LIBERTY!!;)

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Very nice Matt.
Nubo, in my area the Liberty was $20.00 more that the Pat SC for 04. The Pat SC was shooting about 7 fps faster at 71 lbs. Both are VERY nice bows[8D]

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Thanks Phil...you adding to your collection?

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Matt, What are the numbers for that bow as regards to speed with whatever arrows you are shooting. IBO etc. You know the good stuff.

Brian

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Brian,
The Liberty is not one of BowTech's "Burners".......it's what I'd call the Luxury car ride. Respectable speed and you can't feel the potholes.:D
My "Birth Certificate" said 30"/70#/350grs=300fps even.
I haven't weighed or measured a thing yet, but I plan to.
I do know that the bow came shipped with a brass nock and 2 rubber eliminator style cushion buttons.....they eat speed like a fat kid eats cake. I hope with my simple Tru-Peep and string loop the speed loss will wash from replacing the factory stuff and then its all arrow weight from there.

I have seen 2 different 29" Birth Certificates and they read 287 and 289fps for the same draw weight/arrow weight.

I plan to hunt with A/C/C 3-60's at about 400grs (depends upon fletch style)so I expect my hunting set-up to be shooting somewhere around 280fps+/- or more if I can wring a little more draw weight out of mine. 70#+ is nothing with this cam.
I wish I had Monday off so I could head out and try to maybe be the first guy to take a deer with one......looks like I'll have to wait until Saturday.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Nice looking bow, Matt.
Really great picture quality.
What type of digital camera did you use ?


Sag.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

hmmm...

With that description, and those speeds posted by Matt... sounds like Bowtech created a clone of the MQ-1! :D:D

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Kelly, absolutely. I gotta have an 04 Mighty Mite. Incredible short bow. I shot it side by side with the Justice and, it was noticebly faster. The Justice draws so smoothly that it felt lighter but, since I shoot 60#, bows I'm going for the MM. I also have a 60# Pro 40 Dually on order in camo. Thank God I have a big closet.;)

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Except by all accounts so far (including some current and former Mathews shooters) ;):D

1) The cam is smoother
2) The wall is infinitely more solid
3) Adjustable letoff and minute draw length adjustments
4) Less Shock & vibration
5) Locking limb pockets
6) Better strings and cables
7) Much better camo than that Trebark II ;)
8) Factory installed Hush kit & VB's saves ya some dough
9) Only need to swap a module for a draw length change
10) bearings in idler AND cam
11) better defined/less sensitive valley
12) Less torquey grip

I could go on....:D;)

Seriously..I've owned a bunch of Q series Mathews as well as the legacy and Icon. From what I'm hearing the new F-cam bows are a step up from those in recoil/shock/noise/draw cycle.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Greg,
Jeff is right on with his assumptions........I've shot an MQ-1 quite a bit and while no slouch and heck of a great bow in its own right (Maybe THE classic single cam) Everything Jeff listed is an improvement over the MQ-1.
The Liberty makes the MQ-1 feel jumpy by comparison.
Don't try one Greg,you have a new baby.........don't do it!![:o]:D

Sag,
Thanks,
Believe it or not it's not an expensive camera, and it takes even better pictures when you aren't trying to hold it steady. Off of a solid base its REALLY clear.
It's an HP-315 with 2.1Mp resolution. I think you can find them all over the place on Ebay for a little over $100 bucks. It was pretty much as nice as you could get a few years ago when I got it but technology has brought the price down considerably. There are 5Mp cameras on the market now(for much higher prices)
Great little investment! Nice clear pics, and the instant gratication we all love! I don't feel bad bringing it along on hunts and it's been a lot of fun.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

The Birth Certificate on mine at 27"/#70 reads 287. It's still at the shop getting setup, and I dont get it until Christmas. I can't wait!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Matt, you've got to tell me how I can schrink down my pics so I can post them here. My Sony only goes down to 640X480 which is anout 37k and this forum only allows 30k or smaller[:@] Anyone else with ideas??? Thanks in advance!!!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Russ.
Go to www.imagestation.com

Open an account it's free upload your pics to there then link the pics to here.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Matt,

I figured, you were using a camera that cost at least a thousand bucks to post pics like that!
You sure could have fooled me. ;)


Sag.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Thanks Ausie, I'll give it a try!!!

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

wwag, can't you resize on your computer? Email me a pic & I'll try.

RE: **BowTech LIBERTY....A Photo Gallery (Pics!)**
 

Actually Matt, the temptation isthere... but for the Mighty Mite after reading about it on Bowtech's website, and from the intitial reports/findings of others here. That smoothness with the added speed in that little of a treestand bow... Wow! And considering 99.9% of my shots out of my bows are from my stands... well, it kinda makes me wonder what it would be like... ;):D

I mean, I hear what you and Jeff are saying about the improvements, but until I shoot one (which I will fairly soon), it'd be hard to get me to spend money to buy another bow which really does mimic my MQ-1 so much in specs and everything. The speed's the same, I've already got limbsavers, my bow is whisper quiet, and I love the feel of the cam and back wall. I guess if you were really trigger happy on trading bows all the time it may be worth it, but I can't see dumping nearly a thousand-dollar investment for a very similar product.

Again, I may feel differently after shooting the Liberty, but I sincerely doubt it. It'd have to be much better.

The Mighty Mite, on the other hand, would be a perfect complement and stablemate! ;)
