Rant about buying my "new bow"

[km04]

Ok, so I ordered my bow on the 16th of this month. They told me it would be a week or so before it would be in. So I call today and it hadn't arrived. The shop told me they would call the company and see what the hold up was. They were told they hadn't even started on my bow(I'm a lefty). They weren't even going to ramp up production for at least another 2 weeks or so, so I shouldn't expect my bow for about 3 weeks. Totally bummed me out. I do not blame the shop, they ordered the bow and were not told they were not in stock or production yet. So I got a while before I am out shooting it.


Ok, rant over.

They're waiting on your application to be processed...hopefully it will come back "not disapproved"

The bow manufacturers are notoriously slow with making their products. The wait for many is months.

It was 3 months on my last bow. All the bow Mfg's are slow this time of year. Right now I have been waiting on a new set of limbs to be built. Bart from Xfire strings has the strings done already. Left handed bows are the last to be built in a production run. I guess they have to re-tool.
Have you looked at http://www.lancasterarchery.com/

Some things are worth the wait.

Lancaster is the place to go.

It's worth the ride, and they will treat you and set you up right.

What brand & model bow did you order?

The way MD is going it might not be too far from the truth in the future.

Thanks brother.

I'm a lefty too and I am having the same problem. I like to buy any new bow at the end of the season so I have half a year to get used to the new bow. I can't find lefty bows in stock anywhere. I guess the manufacturers don't ramp up until closer to the start of the season.

Been a month ago, but Bass Pro had some left hand ones marked down. I know that one was a Bear Carnage, you couldn't go wrong with that bow. I don't know if it's still there though.

Lancaster Archery Supply for the win!!!

Each fall, we go camping near Lancaster, and we take a ride up to LAS and spend some time and some $$$.

Maybe their needing a lefty to make your bow right?

yup

Nothing new when ordering a new bow. I wouldnt be surprised if they tell you the exact same thing when you call back in two weeks. As some other guys have said, it may not be a bad idea to head up to Lancaster. They may have it or something you like better in stock. Worst case scenerio you get to shoot a bunch of new bows.

 

[Maryland Hunter]

Lancaster will set you up and let you shoot a bunch of bows to find the one you like. Plus, they actually know what they are talking about and selling.

Go on a weekday if you can, you'll have the place and the people that work there all to yourself.
