We have one for guns, we oughta have one for bows too methinks. I know some guys on here have them.
My 'ol faithfull. 1998 PSE Baby-G-Force.
36.25" ATA, 6.25BH, 320FPS, pretty fast for its day and still respectable today. Kind of a grumpy draw cycle even set at its 60lb minimum. Goes up to 70lbs, picked it up used at Scheels in about 2007.
Been dreaming of upgrading for awhile. Looked at Brutes, then they were improved with X-Force limbs for the Brute X, gained some ATA and lost some weight for the Surge. I finally actually shot one and loved it. Smooth, no recoil... just wonderful. Using the scuzzy arrows at Cabelas I was running the risk of robin hooding at 20yds, a feat not even worth considering with the Baby-G for the 8 years I have had it. Now this year they went to hybrid cab system and nicer darker camo for the Brute Force... and that put the Surges on clearance. And I actually caught them in the act.
The only guy there was busy with someone else for awhile which worked out, the first one I picked (because it had a data card) was only a 60# bow. The second one I liked better all around but didn't have a card was a 70# bow so that worked out for the better. Had him set the length and the weight was already at 63# which I think is good to start off with.
And now I have the good stuff switched from the Baby G, TT Smackdown, TR 4 pin sight, B-Stinger to the Surge.
Lets see what everyone else has!
