Well guys ,I got my Tribute home safely after an 80 mph 45 minute ride home from the pro shop on my harley. Hoytgirl and I went to the pro shop today as I wanted to shoot a Tribute again and check out some lone wolf climbing sticks. Well I asked one guy if my bow had come in and he said he didn't think so. I saw another guy while I was shooting a Tribute a few minutes later and asked him to check and low and behold it had just come in. It had been ordered only 6 days previous. We installed a Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter drop away (go figure) a Black Gold Radiant 4 pin sight (extremely bright) a 3/16'' peep(no rubber tubing), a string loop, a Bowtech Wildthing Stabalizer, and a Kuikee Quiver Combo with the ultra-lock bracket locking quick remove system. We also installed a Fall Away Rest Arrow holder by Parker Productions. This holds your arrow on the shelf and quietly and easily lets go of it when you draw your bow; no noise and performs excellent. I can turn my bow upside down and shake it and the arrow doesn't move. I will be getting one of these for my Trykon too. My Pro shop guy named Tanner set up my bow while we went to lunch. We came back and he had the bow paper tuned and sighted in EXACTLY for me; peep and everything was perfect with no adjustments needed. This was a first for me. He even sewed around the entire edge of the moleskin on my Trophy Taker. I have never seen this done before. My draw is 29'' and the bow is peaked at 61#'s. We shot it through the stores F-1 Chrono and it averaged 275 ft per sec with their practice arrows that the shop has. My wife held on to it dearly all the way home. When we got home we shot it against my 70# Hoyt Trykon to compare it for noise. It was louder than the Hoyt. I went to an archery supply store 10 minutes away and bought some rubber camo cat string whiskers. My mom, my wife, and my 8 year old son all thought that both bows now were equal in noise which is VERY Whisper quiet. The bow shoots excellent for me. I like the smooth draw cycle. The Hoyt still has it beat in looks IMO and in my families' eyes. I am glad though that I have something different to shoot. Diversity is good. As far as I am concerned this Bowtech Tribute is a top rate bow and now I have two of the best bows that the industry has to offer. Damn; I am spoiled.
