nice bow but it looks like you need to mow your lawn
It always needs mowing.
I had 2 choices today.
Choice #1- mow yard
Choice #2- play with bow
I can always mow the yard next week, it isnt going anywhere.

bruce :lol: :lol:
Plenty of low-aimed broadheads will fix the lawn.
The XT is bonza, ay! After a few thousand shots, I found serving seperation on *Bills's cable loop. It doesn't seem to happen to every bow and it's no BFD, but I would recommend putting some Brownell Liquid Lok on the serving- now. Apart from that, they're rock solid! Congrats.
*Bill- (William The Conqueror), name of my XT.

[aussiehunter]

css , so mate where did ya get it?? who ever set it up looks like they did a good job??

pat :)

[XTfreak]

pat,
I got it from Nimos archery one of our sponsers.
willy_r put all my bells and whisltes on it for me, I kept them from the Saber. He did do an excellent job. He is also refletching my arrows so they will fit my quiver. Well that and I wanted the blazers as well.
Other than a few sight adjustments it shot great right from the get go.
I would like to thank the boys at Nimo Bruce Guns and Archery for all their help. And their PAITENCE!!!
Bill

[aussiehunter]

mate is that the first time uve used the whisker?

ive got one coming in ,thought id give them a trial....flick it on the old old switchback :D

pat :)

[XTfreak]

pat,
Ive had the whisker biscuit on a few of my bows now. IMO its the best hunting rest there is. And after 20+ years of bowhunting I have used quite a few.
I think you will like it as well.
By the way, Cabelas called me and said it was getting to the point that they were going to have to order their stock from you. :D

[aussiehunter]

it is he who dies with the most toys wins


pat :)

[aussiehunter]

well when ya cut him urself ,u get two for price of one...

i also asked them for a freight price first and they use another carrier through ups but it was pretty good,,

but actually ive got onto a bloke in aus that is bringing a lot of this in and he was about the same price,so ive gone with him,rather see a aussie make a bit too....

got him through our sister site www.ozbow.com

pm me if anyone wants his contacts for trads,as really most of our sponsors here deal with the modern gear..

but u know i am bored, but that will all change soon,,i wont have time to scratch myself soon...

now its drying up,ive been getting about when things arnt broken...

well ive got good opportunitys up here to give the trad bows a real go,so thought id make the most of it...

pat :)

[NormGunston]

Post Officially Hi-jacked!! 3Rivers' shipping rates are bizzare- once I ordered a sharpening tool (only) and the post (US$45.00) cost more than the item. Last time I ordered a ute-load of gear and it cost me, wait for it, $6.75!! Every time the gear arrives in a week!?! :?

[Willy_R]

Bill wont mind at all Will ya ! :lol: ya dont know your alive on the TBGA till ya had your post Hi Jacked ......... 8)
