No more PSE feather? I've heard some amazing things about the spyder, I checked one out the other day and really wished I had an extra grand in my pocket. Depending on how the draw goes I may pull the trigger on a new bow this year.
Pse was good, just like this one better.

The best bow I have so far ever shot was the 2011 pse dream season evo. I kick myself for selling that bow.

Save some money and buy a used 2013 spyder. Got this turbo practically brand new with new strings for $700.

Ok, I've lurked around there quite a bit. Wasn't sure if you had anything local, I've seen some setups on Reno 4x4 forum, armslist and craigslist. My bow is almost 10 years old but I absolutely love it, I know the new technology is game changing but there is something about that ol boy that I can't give up on. lf I don't go all out new this year it is time for a makeover, new rest and quiver for sure and definitely changing my arrow situation up. Do you self tune and setup or do you use a shop? I know our options are pretty limited around here shop wise.

Got my own press. Do my own work and ask questions to the tuners on at that I get my strings from.

Nice, depending on the draw I was going to go down to House of Arrows and let them hold my hand. After missing a buck last year (my fault not my setup) I told myself it was time to get more serious. Not knowing enough and piecing together over the years has gotten to the point where I need some expert advice. Although I'm pretty sure we live close to each other so I might just track you down and knock on your door for some setup advice. We will see come May how serious I am. Until then I will keep shooting and praying to the tag gods for another year of fun. Been rifle hunting my whole life but the past few summers out there with my bow, although unsuccessful, has been some of the most fun I've ever had.

Thanks bud! Like I said we will see come May, hopefully I can finally draw an elk tag with my 10 points and in that case my money will be going toward some Vortex Vipers and more Kuiu gear. We'll see though.

Super score today!!! Found a huge selection of winners choice strings at the Cabelas bargin cave and there were two sets in the bunch for my Bowtech Black Ice bow. Picked up both sets for a negotiated discount of $25 a piece!!!

My boys both got the Bowtech Infinate Edge bows this year. One wanted the camo one and one wanted the black ops one. Found by chance a guy local to me that had bought a left handed camo one by accident, and made me a deal of $200! That left one more so when Sportsmans put on that nice Valentines sale, picked up the black one for my other south paw son and now we have some new archers in the family!
