Re: Pulled the trigger!!

Re: Cub

Sounds like you are doubling the weight and the price of that bow, not what I would want to do. But if that is your dream rig then go for it. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect gun, bow , rod , canoe , etc.

Re: After so many years...

I like to disassemble my bows and put them into a softsided double tactical rifle case. Makes for easy transport or storage. When they are bolted back together I still have single-hole accuracy.

Re: Rechargeable Hand Warmers

Re: Grizzly/micro/scope advice needed

If you want more speed upgrade to a 355 ,more speed than the Micro with less cocking effort and cheaper. But if money is tight then upgrade the scope first.

Re: Air Break ?

I prefer the Brake Pads. Way lighter and cheaper plus they do work. Both my bows are quieter with Brake pads installed.
