Post by: Spectre on October 27, 2010, 12:03:00 AM
Anybody know how many millions of dollars they want for them? I can't find a price anywhere on them.

Yeah, the Buffalo has me pretty twitterpated. I shot a Reflex duplicate of a Gamemaster once at Cabela's and reall, really liked it, too.

Got a Dorado for $450 after tax.  Pretty happy with it too.

Well, damn, I would have never thought of that. A couple of the guys who replied earlier are from Virginia---I simply thought they might know where the damn dealer was around here. There isn't an archery shop within 50 miles or so of me, and they are a Martin dealer.

Well, I looked up where South Boston is, and it's a hike. Otherwise you're welcome to try mine.  My local dealer (not too far away) said, "Yeah I got one."  Turned out it was a gamemaster with dorado limbs.  No interest in letting me try it out.  And it was obvious he doesn't do much traditional business.  All his recurves (and there weren't many) were permanently strung and hung up with dust on 'em.

After that I actually looked up Hoyt dealers along the way when I was taking a business trip up to Pennsylvania.  Stopped in Mt. Airy, MD and found a great shop for trad gear.  Got to test the bow upstairs in their range and fell in love.  Somehow I found some very unnatural restraint and didn't buy it on the spot, but came back later and got it.  Was quite happy that day...

Now I just need to find some time in the woods with it.  I've managed a whopping 5 hours of hunting so far this year...

Sorry! I thought it was an easy opportunity to add to my low post count. LOL

Guess I never filled out my city in VA.  I'll try to update my profile.  But I'm up closer to DC.  I'm outta town next Wed-Sat, but if it's a different day and you want to come a bit farther north just PM me and we can work something out.
