Default Look what came in today!

After finding a note when I got home yesterdaythat Ihad missed adelivery from FedEx having something to do with "hunting," I was stoked to hear the knock atthe door this morning and see the uniformed delivery man standing there holding a few packages.

So was my son; good thing he only weighs about35 lbs! By the time I went and got the camera, this is how I found him:



The fit and finish on these two bows are nothing short of awesome, and I absolutely love the Realtree Hardwoods HD. Here they are after throwing on a couple accessories really quick. The Tribute is on top with the Wild Thing and an NAP Quicktune 3000 attached, and the Allegiance has the Spot-Hogg Hunter Hogg-It, the APA Twister Safari and the Stealth stabilizer already attached (the rest isn't close to being set up yet and I just pulled the cord through the tab on the cable slide and tied a quick little knot to get a general idea of how it was going to perform):



Here's a couple closer views of how great the camo transferred and what a beautiful finish these bows have:





This is the 6" Stealth, which is also dipped at the Waterdog facilities owned by BowTech:




I've got to say once again how incredible the factory grips on BowTechs are; they just have to be among the most torque-free, best-feeling grips out there. I was inspecting them closely and was amazed at how little wood sticks out on either side of the riser. This is about as close as you can come to "shooting off the riser" but maintaining the warmth and feel of having a wood grip.

It's gonna take a bit to get these set up and dialed in, but if I'm gone from here for a few months, you'll know where I'm at... just call my wife and have her go out to the back yard where I'll be shooting...

Couple sweet rigs you have there Greg.

I particularly like the new limb bolt assembly on this years bows. I appreciatethe larger hex size of the limb bolt.

What did your bc's read?

Hopefully your Allegiance shoots as well for you as mine does for me.

I haven't really had much time with my Tribute yet, I don't even have 50 shots through it yet.......

buckeye, the Allegiance's bc stated that it shot 316 with a 28.5" draw and the speed mods; the Tribute shot 320 with a 29.5" draw and the same speed mods.

I typically shoot a 29" draw length, so I've got those modulesalready on their wayin both speed and smooth versions -- though I do plan on doing some extended shooting with the 28.5" module; I've always thought it actually might be a bit closer to my "true" draw length, even though I've shot 29" for years and years.

Greg those are some really sharp looking bows.

And this is coming from a guy who thinks there isn't a better looking bow than the one I own.

Okay, I am a little partial.

But either way, two beautiful looking bows. I am sure they will perform as well as they look too!!

Congrats!

And congrats on the house as well. Looks like you will have no problem getting those bows dialed in with a deck like that one! Perfect set-up.

I am curious, how far of a shot do you have from your deck to the edge of your property?

Bols... thanks a lot for the well-wishing!

To the creek (which kinda separates my actual lawn from the woods you see) is anywhere from 30 to 40 yards approximately depending on where you stand on the deck -- if you shoot at an angle back towards the woods. We actually own about 20 yards into the woods as well, so you could do some playing around with that as well. And -- I also own the lot which sits directly behind the house, which would be to the right off that picture you looked at which showed the woods. I'd have to be facing directly away from the house (sort of at a right angle in the pic), but I could conceivable practice at close to 75 yards off the deck!!
