yeah...If I don't hunt withit this year, I don't care to be honest...Our season runs pretty late..may be able to put some time in towards the end of the year if I get comfy, if not, oh well....I'm taking my time and doing it right...no heavy poundage, etc...45 pounds and the right arrow/head will do the job inside 15 yards...
I found a dealer that supposedly has a 46 pound Atilla in stock and chekcing to see if he has any longhorns......waiting on email confirmation

I've never heard anything bad about them, even on other sites.... They are a top notch bow and Chad is numero uno

I've been shooting a stick ever since. I actually feel like I'm shooting a bow again, connected to the experience. I'll probably spend $40 gearing up for this season (equipment wise, not license and permits) and have much more fun.

I did fine, but my wife's parents and grandparents homes were flooded. The grandparents home got about 10ft of water and will have to be completely gutted. The parents had about 5-6 feet of water and will have to be gutted as well. Their house was on stilts and 15ft above the ground and still got 6 feet of water!!! All furnishings and such were lost in both homes. Things could be worse though and we are thankful they are safe.

I did this last season. I had the cabbagge, was ready to plop it down for a new machine, and said "man what the heck are you doing?"

But I will say this...none of the trad vendors must be hurting for money...I've got a few inquiries in about bows listed in stock and not ONE has got back to me..most of them I contacted a few days ago [:'(].....this always has been an issue w/ the trad shops, IME. The bowyers are generally top notch....but the"general" trad shops are usuallylittle rinky-dinkoperations doing it as a hobby on the side.....I've got no patience for poor Customer Service having "been there , done that" over the years...may just have to order a Savannah from KeyStone or Cabelas or something...yeesh

Jes wanted to make it clear that I was not referring to Chadas regards to not being contacted about bows in stock. Chad's always beenquick to reply and extremely helpful thecouple times I've contacted him
