    Do you really got to put in every post that you got an elk last week?? That's kind of rubbing it in for us that can't. :)

    I called around some to a few shops to see what left handed models they had in stock and demos to try. Deer creek archey seemed to have a good selection so I stopped by there on saturday. I took my old mathews with me to see if parts were obtainable. I was told I would have to leave the bow and the owner would know better tomorrow if they could even get parts for it. While there I tried out a Mission Blaze. It shot really nice.

    Sunday I get a call and talk to george the owner. He tells me he should be able to get parts for it but may take up to a weeek to locate a limb at a nearby shop or get one from mathews. An hour later I get another call stating my bow is fixed and ready. I guess they had a parts bow laying around.

    I'm still really leaning toward the mission ballistic. My wife asked if I really needed 3 bows. I replied with no I need 4 bows. :D

    I'm currently working on yoke and paper tuning my old bow then resighting it. I'll probably buy the new bow when I get back from a trip to New Orleans in a week or two.

    I stopped by my parents house yesterday and left with a new to me blackwidow long bow with some accessories. It's probably been 20 years since I last shot a bow with fingers.

    I've been shooting Bowtech since 2003, never failed me once. In that price range, Diamond would be a good choice. My son compared the Mission bow to the Diamond bow and he prefers the design, light weight, and FPS of the Diamond. Good luck on your choice, I don't think you could go wrong with any Major Manufacturer.

    And if you really want to examine different brands, Lancaster Archery...hands down.
