I am a new member and have been reading posts from all of you for months now. I have been bow huntinging only for the last 30 years except for last season due to the fact that I can no longer pull a vertical bow due to shoulder problems. (abuse and age). I feel like I know many of you already from the untold number of hours I have spent on this forum as a guest. Most all my questions have been answered from that time. I have resently ordered a Vortex and accessories. The accessories have already come ( ordered seperatly because I had gift cert. from Bass Pro) I found what I suspect is an 2008 Vortex (Realtree Hardwoods Kolorfusion) from a source (www.archerycreek.com) for $476.00. The problem I am worried about is that I ordered the bow 5 days ago and after several emails they still assure me the bow is in stock and they will send me a tracking # as soon as it ships but I still have not recieved it yet (tracking #). Has anyone done any business with these people or heard anything about them. I gave them until 3:00pm eastern time today to get me the tracking # or I am canceling my order to find another source (suggestion?). My only other question is on Flemished stings. I have been making homemade laminated bamboo longbows for over ten years and flemish strings. What are the differences for xbow (ie. what materials are best, number of strands, serving material, etc.), and where is the best place for me to get sts system? Thanks, and thank you Excalibur marketing dude for putting up with my pestering to get activated
