Thanks for the tips fellas. I been checking out mathews and bowtec on the

net and the bowtec is defentely the fastest but have heard a bit of bad

feedback. One dealer told me of a bloke who tried to claim a twisted riser

on warranty but Bowtec wanted him to send the whole bow back to the

states but that whould have cost him more than buying a new riser which

is what he ended up doing. has anyone else heard of any problems?

Mate my bowtech tomkat came over no worries and man is it fast! i havent had any arrows that werent complete passthroughs with it yet and am even considering turning the bow down a few pound. Its set on 70. I shot a goat from 5m and the arrow kept the same angle and lodged in a black oak about 20 foot up in the tree and the tree was 50m away from where i took the shot! Go the bowtech you wont be dissapointed!

As a Bowtech Dealer we have had nothing but great dealings with them. Be careful what other dealers say about them if that is not their premium line. Most of the Australian dealers of bows are also distributors and will push their distributed line first and foremost.
We are not tied to any companys in that way and thus only sell bows that we know give us A1 service. That's why we sell Bowtech, Mathews and Archery Research.

Thanks for the tip mate. the reason i was looking for a new bow was because some dirty mongrel stole it out of my car while it was parked outside the hospital, my little girl was on a drip. :x
the other day iget a call from mymate Gavin, he was at work fixing a window and just happened to look across the room and on top of this guys dresser and there was my beloved Martin Rage 2 XRG[70lb315fps] :shock: .

So the next day we rocked up at this guys place and hit him up. Luckly he wasnt home and his old man answered the door . Turns out he bought it for $150 of the little punk who stole it :x
I ended up getting it back minus stabeliser, release aid and an emptied bow box, solong $400 :(

So now begins the the rebuilding/reaccesorising. I have to say thanks for all the advise and tips recieved from members :D if any has any acces for sale let me know. HOWS THAT FOR A STORY
