Turkeygirl Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Shot the Rinehart R100 both days this weekend. At the end yesterday they raffled off stuff. Last thing they did was for an Elite Bow and guess who won a new Elite bow....this girl!!! I still can't believe it! There was someone rom Elite there so met with him and they have my information. Getting a 2013 Elite Hunter, black riser/RT AP snow limbs. Was going to get just the RT AP limbs but he kept saying how sharp the black riser and snow limbs are, and my 2011 Elite hunter is all RT AP so thought guess I'll go for it! Won't be ready for about 8 weeks and will get sent to my bow shop. I still can't believe I got drawn!!!! This bow will also have tad longer DL - 25.5", talked with the Elite guy there and he had a 2013 I was able to draw back, have felt like the 25" is a tad short, he was very helpful. Will be a 40-50 lb bow and will max it out since I'm currently at 53 lb on my other bow and don't see myself going above that much more. I shot in the Women's Hunter division and placed 3rd on the African range, and 1st on the N. American range, got a pin for each place and also earned an R1000 pin. A great day and a great shoot! So does anyone else have any snow camo bows? As far as I know Elite is one of the few that offer snow camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Forgot to mention they at the apple buck set up.20 yards and I nailed the apple, except the apple split and my arrow went through into brush. Couldn't find it at first, finished the course, had an hour to spare before the raffling so went back, found my arrow, 4 other people's arrows, and someone's Thermacell. Did find the guy who lost his Thermacell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
