Won myself a bow!
Got a call around lunch time from someone at a fund raiser and said my name got picked! Never won anything so I'm pretty excited. The bow is a Bowtech Revolt series and I can pick what model I want and color so that's pretty cool. I haven't shot bows in like 30 years and it was just for recreation but for the past few years I've been toying around to get one for archery season plus I have quite a few friends that have switched over or extended their chances for deer hunting. All I need now is pick up a sight, bow release and some arrows!

Re: Won myself a bow!
You won a fine bow. Bowtech makes some really good stuff. If I were going to resume archery hunting, the Revolt would be near the top of my list. Congratulations!

Re: Won myself a bow!
Bows shoot arrows just fine without sights or a bow release. Admittedly, it takes more practice, but one can slay a deer without either. That Revolt looks like no bow I've ever shot, but congratulations on your luck.Mainehunter wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 2:47 pmAll I need now is pick up a sight, bow release and some arrows!

Re: Won myself a bow!
Hmmm...saw 'bowl' instead of "bow!".
Congratulations, anyway.

Nice!
I've always thought about getting into archery. My grandfather was quite a bow shot. I just have all I can do to keep up with my guns. Keeps me from starting something new.
I see next year they are allowing crossbows in archery season. That should be interesting.
