How are you getting along with your bows?
I've seen several of you guys posting pictures of new bows, just wondering how it's going ..
-
Pat are you fishing? LOL You don't need to answer that.
-
My guess is Pat, vermonster and I are in the same boat. Pacing nervously and awaiting that special email!? Y'all don't need to answer that either. LOL!!
-
Hey, I'm trying to patiently wait my turn here.
-
I will let you know in a couple of weeks when my aluminum riser CX gets here.

I received mine a few weeks ago..... The first thing I noticed was I ordered more weight than I needed.... At 54@28, this bow shot as hard as any 60@28 bow I've ever owned, including Morrison, Schafer, Border, you get the point.... So, I sent John an email and asked if I could trade for a lighter set... I'm expecting them any day now.... You can't beat that for customer service!!
-
Last I heard there was only 2 people that have waited longer than I have so far and mine isn,t on the way yet.I,ve been patiently waiting for a fairly long time now,so long in fact that I.m kinda thinkin of nameing her "Patience" Ofcourse I,ll hafta double check the spellin LOL if I do in fact name her that.
If your fishin to buy one just put up a large dollar amount and somebody will sell LOL
Double Creek,I'm kinda hopeing to be able to get extra limbs myself,my order is for low 50's but 2 sets of limbs 10#'s each way would be sweet
-
Limbs will set you back $700
-
LOL I haven,t checked the price of limbs it,s just a thought.That actually seems higher than I'd have expected unless of course we're talkin used LOL
At that price I,d probably only go with 1 extra set of limbs, right around 40#'s give or take a couple
-
That's the new price. I asked about them for a riser I had with a real light set on them and wanted some heavier ones. Just bought a whole new bow instead.
-
I have 2 coming-hopefully a 53# and a 47# with wood risers-we'll see. Have to shoot them for a while and then decide what I like.
-
Thanks for pointing out the poundage issue...I've been on the list for about 40 months now, and I think I've finally made up my mind on exactly what I want!! when the time comes of course
-
I have 2 sets for mine..paid 500 for the second set...62 and 57@28 when did they go up
-
Ben, I must of ordered about the same time as you. I think it was Oct or 2003 when I got on the list. Altough I have no idea where I stand now. Have to be getting close. Do you know where you are on the list?
Swampbuck, how long you been waiting?
I was lucky enough to pick one up at Compton from John last year. Don't know if that has madethe wait easier or worse, LOL!! They sure are worth the wait though!
-
Let's just say Swampbuck has the patience of Job.
-
I asked last week. The three piece prices have gone up also. $1175 for the aluminum is the cheapest one from what I've seen so far. All the wood risers have been over $1200
-
Vermonster, so if you were on the list before the price increase will you get it at the old price or new. I did notice on O.L.'s site that there was no longer a price list. I figured there was probably going to be an increase. I'm on the list, but I don't know when I will ever get it. I want one baaaad. Funny how much we want the things we can't have.
-
Why wait, there's one on ebay with a starting price of $1500 or a buy it now price of $1900....49#@28". But it has a metal riser. Do they all have metal risers? I thought I have seen some with wood risers.
-
Going great :)
I really like mine alot,had to sell three bow's to pay for it but i was not shooting them anyway so it really did not matter. I was thinking of a new set of limbs but for $700, i'll pass :)

There are wood risers also. The price list for the custom one piece is where you get it for the price you signed up. The stock bows you pay what they are now from everyone I've seen so far.
-
I would think after waiting for a bow for 3 more years cost would be of no concern.I mean you have had plenty of time to save up for it. :)
-
Lefty, yep I got on in November of 2003 and my last commo with O.L. was that hopefully in another 8 months or so I'd be up. I don't know about price, I've changed my mind form a one piece to the 3 piece so I guess we'll just see.
-
At first I enjoyed the long wait for the very reason of saveing up,I'm kinda wishin I kept savein so I'd have the $$ for extra limbs since I also went from a 1 pc order to a 3 pc after waiting.At least I know what I want in the riser LOL so long as a wood grip isnmt offered in a metal riser...to my understanding the apogee isn,t out on the market yet but I could be wrong about that
Good luck guys
