Post by: bow-n-head on May 09, 2009, 08:00:56 PM: :chuckle:10,000 out of work comedians and Jason is cracking jokes on here :chuckle: That is a nice looking bow. Does the quiver attached to the top of the bow make it a little top heavy? especially when it is full of arrows. Oh by the way I wouldn't trade my Mathews in for one :chuckle:
Title: Re: NEW Bowtech Air Raid
Post by: xXx Archery on May 09, 2009, 08:38:59 PM: Unlike Mathews you can put a 1 piece or 2 piece quiver the one on the bow is a 1 piece 4 arrows quiver...the bow has mounts on the top and bottom

Post by: bow-n-head on May 10, 2009, 07:56:25 AM: Whatever... I can put a one piece or two piece quiver on my Mathews. :chuckle: not familiar with a Mathews?

Title: Re: NEW Bowtech Air Raid
Post by: bow-n-head on May 10, 2009, 08:20:28 AM: Matt McPherson, creator of the Mathews line of bows :sas: they make and sell both types of quiver.

Post by: BLKBEARKLR on May 10, 2009, 08:29:42 AM: Nice bow, might have to keep this one in my mind, thinking of upgrading my 07 bowtech tribute.

Post by: bow-n-head on May 10, 2009, 06:03:24 PM: I see you're right, I hate having to admit that :bash: looks like because of the extremely bent riser they couldn't get two mounting holes to line up on three of their bows. Funny you have two of them. :dunno: both of mine have two mounting holes.
