Bought a new bow today!
« on: April 21, 2011, 12:28:36 PM »
After watching for a while, got a great deal on a Bowtech Invasion.  Really liked the feel of the Alpine F1 Fireball but didn't like the look of the limb pockets so much.

Can't wait for it to arrive and set up.  A big step up from my mid-90's Golden Eagle.  I'll have to set that one up for bowfishing....


OOPS Mods, meant to stick this under bow hunting.  Can you move it?  Thanks.

Awesome.  This might be the year I get a new (to me) bow.  I am shooting an Xi Intrepid that is about 15 years old.  :chuckle:  That carp fishing looks like a blast and live close to Vancouver Lake which has lots of them.  Just too many hobbies to start another one.

I also just recently ordered a Bowtech (Assassin) and it will arrive on Tuesday  :IBCOOL:

I am super stoked as this is my first bow

What finish did you go with?  I ended up with the Mossy Oak, really wanted the Black Ops but didn't want to wait...

Got the camo one.  Doesn't include the red rest but have a quad pro to put on it.

And really quiet.   :tup:

Supposed to be here today with UPS three day shipping, but they only fly over here about once a week from Friday Harbor.   >:(

No ferry for us, 14 mile boat ride, one way to FH.   Maybe UPS will be early this week, haven't noticed a delivery in a while.  They usually wait until they have several packages.  We started ordering everything next day and then get our money back because it is NEVER next day to us.  You'd think they'd put a note in their computer system....   :chuckle:

Got the bow today!!   :IBCOOL:  Mounted the QAD Ultra-rest.  Need to adjust the draw length and weight.  Hard to wait to shoot it in daylight.  Pics later.
