Our shop charges 50cents per arrow to cut and insert them. $6 per dozen is cheap to make sure they are done properly and safely. For Safety sake...either buy a proper arrow cutting saw, or use your local shop.

I was thinkin the same thing....I think BowTech did/does.

I think that is one of the best bows they have put out...and I personally think it is better than the new Carnage. You made a good decision.

Enjoy your new bow! Hope it gives you many years of memories.

Definitely Classic...lol

...He is risen indeed! Happy Easter to all my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I agree...I should have mentioned them as well...Vapor Trail makes great strings too.

A couple other custom stringmakers to consider are: Crackers custom strings Stage 1 custom strings

I have a Vanquish coming too. I can't wait! If you haven't shot a Strother bow yet. Find a local dealer, and shoot one. I promise...you won't be disappointed.

I am blessed to live in my dream home in Central Illinois...surrounded by thousands of acres of family land. I love the flatlands of Illinois.

...I didn't realize they still made film cameras!...lol Seriously, that really sucks brother. I usually do my stuff on-line and have them delivered...but if I need them quick, I take my stuff to the "West side" Walmart. You can get a nice digital camera pretty cheap these days...and you won't have to worry about that crap anymore.

I am the Maintenance Director at a large church in Central Illinois, I'm part owner of Select Archery and Outdoor Suuply, Inc., and I am a photographer. I am also a volunteer Firefighter...but since I don't get paid for that, I guess it can't be considered an 'occupation'.

I agree. The razors edge is a great choice. It comes with either 30# (15-30) limbs or 60# (30-60) limbs. It also comes in a package with rest, sight, and quiver. Buy a release and some arrows and you're on your way. Easy to change draw lengths as well. No press required. Hope you find what you're lookin' for.

...not quite sure how they go about deciding all that...but it sure doesn't make any sense. I had a buddy put in for 3rd season as first choice (and he applied late) and another buddy put in for 1st season and get second, and he applied the first day you could apply. What sense does this make?

If you're looking for a great field tip target, I would go with a SpyderWeb target. Not only easy arrow removal, but an incredibly long target life. (self healing) I haven't found a good broadhead target yet. I've been disappointed in them all.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2010 Just wanted to throw out the invitation that Select Archery will be hosting a little shindig over at our new place (474 Wylie Dr. - Normal, IL 61761) after the Illinois Deer and Turkey Classic this evening. (We are less than a mile from the Interstate Center) Festivities should start around 8pm. The guys from Bone Collector Seasonings will be there to provide some spice and seasoning action. We have ribs starting to slow roast at noon today and a bunch of other food. Crackers will be there as will reps from Strother Archery, PSE and whoever else we talk to at the show. Come out and shoot some bows, have some food and share a tall tale about your season this past year. Open to all. Cost - nadda...just be prepared to be drafted for a cheesy promo video for a product!!! Hope some of you can make it. We will start around 8pm.

Prayer sent brother.

I'll be there on Saturday at the Select Archery booth. Stop by and try the new Strothers bows, and say hi!

That was awesome!!!!

That's awesome brother. Congrats!

Time to start shooting a 5 spot! ...nice job!

I'm in. I usually find 2-3 a year...but I'm going to start earlier this year 'cause I think some of my neighbors are getting them ahead of me. (poaching sheds)

My motto is in my sig... Bowhunting is about how close...not how far. That being said...I don't think it's my place to determine what someone elses ethical range is...all I can do is determine mine. I know my limitations...I know how I practice. ...and for me, the challange is to see how close I can get.

Tough year...with all the rain, and the corn harvest lasting until Christmas, nothing seemed to go the way we had hoped. My daughter took a nice 3-1/2 year old 8 point during youth weekend, and I took 3 does this season. Passed up a lot of small bucks, but no luck getting a big boy on the ground. Good season overall...just expecting it to go different than it did in the buck dept.

We'll be shed hunting in a couple of weeks, so we'll see what we come across. So far this winter we have found 3 dead bucks and a couple dead does. Here are the bucks... A couple closeups of the 2 bigger ones... It's a real shame...
