New Anti Elk Weapon, setting it up here boss.......
« on: January 25, 2017, 11:16:24 AM »
The big brown truck brought the Darton Archery Maverick II yesterday afternoon. Woo hoo! I've decided to set her all up by myself and see how I do. Accessories include a Trophy Taker something or other pro drop away rest (I liked the TT on my Alpine so got another one), MBG 5 pin site, Easton stab, a pretty cool looking red bow sling, Darton Archery 4 arrow quiver (seems a bit heavy but will give it a shot), a larger than life peep (1/4), a handful of D loop material (red), some serving string (still on its way from where I ordered it from), and an inexpensive bow vise with a bunch of cool little leveling gadgets. Also picked up a bow scale. I've never tied in a D loop or installed a drop away rest so those will take a bit of studying on before I do them.   
Had to start somewhere so I set up/mounted the bow vise on my shop bench, put in the draw modules (it seems Darton ships their bows with shipping draw modules), took the poundage down so I could draw the bow back (I have an arthritis thing going on so can't pull pack what I used to), did an initial mount of the TT rest, and put on the stabilizer and bow sling. Figured I'd stop there and head back in the house to help Mrs. Phantom with dinner.

 Here I go  ;)

Nice, it is that much more gratifying when you put all of it together, then go close the deal.  Awesome. :tup:

 :tup: setting up bows is a fun thing to do and pretty satisfying when all goes as planned.  :chuckle:  then there are some times nothing seems to happen how it should and makes you want to throw bows!  :yike:
