They have marked down to clearance out their 06's right now, so chances are you may be able to find a decent deal on a leftover Diamond.[/align][/align]At least they are at my local Gander.[/align]

RE: Gander Mountain
I'm going to give you some different advice. If you want a great bow for around 300 bucks set up you should buy a used bow. Check the classifieds on this forum and archerytalk. There are some great bows for sale especially this time of year.
I just sold a nearly mint condition 3 year old Hoyt Razortec fully set up with sight, rest, arrows, and STS for $350. I'd much rather have a good used Hoyt Bowtech or Matthews than a lower quality brand new bow for the same price.

The guys at the Kingston store are fantastic. Honest, dedicated, knowlegable.
I had bought a bow at another store and was having problems - the Gander guys walked me through step by step showing me what the other place had done WRONG. They did not push a tune-up or parts on me, they made it my choice. They also didn't push the priciest things on me, they laid 'em all out.
Then the spent AN HOUR with me going over my form and technique, just because they're that good - no charge. Granted, it was a slow day... but they gained a lifelong devotee with that move.
Ask for Joe - I think he runs the archery shop.

RE: Gander Mountain
I purchased a PSE last year from Gander Mountain in WI. After visiting a few stores I actually payed a few bucks more at Gander because of the great helpI received from the staff. They were the only store to actually take time to educate me and let me try all the different bows to aid in my decision. And once I decided on my bow they were great at getting it setup and helping me understand how it works and how to make adjustments in the future as needed.
Definetly recommend Gander!

RE: Gander Mountain
Well consensus has it I think....Everyone pretty much agrees that they know what they are doing and take the time to help which I like. Do you guys think I can find something here for 300.00 or even 350.00? Do they sell the Bear trx bows there? How much are their PSE bows there? Thanks guys...
