Well the season is almost upon us here, my old Mathews bow needs strings so instead of having it done, I sold it to the shop, they aren't worth much after a handfull of years, that bow was around $1500 and I got $500 for it, off of my new bow...
So today I shot bows for about 3 hours... I tried so many my eyes hurt...
I ended up falling in love with the Bear Motive 7, which I was thinking was $1300 stripped but that was the package price!!! The bow stripped is only $899 {internet can sell it cheaper but locally is much better since I get lifetime free labor and the owner is an awesome guy}...
So I bought a stripped motive 7, had him set it for 70lbs 31+ inches. He had the RTH package for $1300 but I didn't like any of what it came with, and my old bow had nice stuff but nothing compared to what I can get now... Bow is in Real tree camo as are all the add ons...
So I had him install...
a IQ retina lock sight {a friend of mine has one, I love it}
a Stokerized ss 1 9" stabilizer {these don't stick out 9" in front its on a funky mount that lets you balance the bow}
a QAD ultra HDX rest
an Apex Reactor quiver
plus the peep sight, d lock, and wrist wrap. I even bought a new case and wrist release!!! I figured buy it all new, everything except arrows, I have plenty of them...
He gave me a great deal, the entire setup for with the tru ball release and plano case {$200 on their own} for $1050!!!! I could NOT believe it, I figured $900 for the box, $150 sight, $150 stabilizer, $140 rest, $55 for the quiver, $50 for the small parts and setup, plus $200 for the case and release and tax I am thinking just shy of $2000, he really hooked me up...
Anyway I am going to pick it up the end of the week hopefully everything is in and put together by then...
