I got one of the older swat crossbow it broke 4 different times then they sent me a fatal x and it also broke and could never get in touch with them so I just stoped trying. What my question is could you maybe help me out I have called and left numerous messages with no response from them at all any help would be appreciated. Thank you my name is Randy Garrett.

    My first year with a crossbow I had a multi-line scope. I told my wife this scope will cost me a deer. Sure enough, I had one of the biggest bucks I've ever had a chance at in front of me. I missed! After that I bought a Parker pin-point that is an adjustable single aiming point scope. I really liked that scope and still have it on my backup bow. Then a few years ago I bought an Oracle X. That thing is the best! It's alot of fun to shoot out to 100yds here at home. I really enjoy it.

    This is good stuff. I couldn't agree with you more. We all know that if you go to an archery pro shop and buy the latest and greatest , you're going to spend $2,500.00 for a tricked out rig. I recently bought a used PSE EVO EVL 32 for $300. And this bow was in mint, brand new condition. It also had new, custom strings and cables. I kept thinking to myself, " get out of here before this guy changes his mind." Another thing you didn't mention is that compound bows have reached a point where manufacturers have reached a limit to what they can do to make them better. They aren't getting faster. They aren't really shooting any better than bows that are three or four years old. The easy tuning systems have been around for a while now and we've had carbon for a few years. And now we have Mathews integrating their components into the riser. But it seems to me that bows have reached a limit to what can be done to improve them. So, you're right. Just go out and buy something two to four years old that is just as nice. I'll mention one other thing: Over the past few years there have been quite a few bow companies that have gone out of business. Most recently Athens. Parker, Ben Pearson, Winchester. Ross and several smaller players. And now, the Chinese are coming into the market, Sanlida in particular. And they are making good stuff. As a consumer, I can't help but feel we are getting gouged.

      @draggindeeroutdoors 2 дні тому

    Good morning Matt. Thanks again for another good devotional. I kind of snickered when you were talking about how you like to have all your ducks in a row and be totally prepared. I’ve had several friends over the years that were engineers and I think that is a very common trait among engineers. In your case, maybe even God affirming that you are using the talents that he gave you and doing the right thing I’m typically not a worrier, that is not to say that I don’t ever worry, but when I catch myself worrying and I realize I’m not honoring God. As you were mentioning about the planets and holding earth in its place, when we think about what God actually controls every second of every day it makes our needs seem pretty minuscule , and we know that he can take care of us we will get out of the way and let him Thanks again Matt and I hope you have an awesome week!

    I liked this same verse this week. I think you and I are a lot alike in the worrying department. Some of the words you were saying sounded like there were coming right out of my mouth, I.e., “I’m a worrier,”. “I am somewhat of a control freak,” “I like to have a plan B, Plan C.” Me too! But I’m doing better the older I get! I find great comfort and encouragement knowing “if God is for us, who can be against us?” Praying for all of us worriers to let go, and let God. Love ya! ❤

    Remember when the single cam was all the rage??? Well I tried out a few of these. I ended up with “and still have” the Martin Cheetah. My god compared to today’s bows, I can’t find a more forgiving or easier bow to tune than this one. Being left handed,you usually need to buy it without the ability to try it out. Very few archery shops carry left handed bows 😢. With a 27”draw speed is not even a consideration. Obviously that doesn’t make a difference. When you are talking about 25yrd and less shots. I honestly hate the speed bows that want to jump out of your hand at release,that’s just another reason to effect….Smooth Shooting! Thanks guys for the video! Mike

    Fellowship with other believers is top priority for us on the sabbath. On top of that, we do whatever is relaxing that we dont get a chance to do the rest of the week. We dont continue to do work that we did the othet six days of the week. Not to say if there was a project that we enjoyed doing that wasnt work we just didn't finish throughout the week. We wouldnt be leagalistic and not do it. Personally I wouldn't say mow the lawn, because I feel I could have gotten it done one of the other days of the week. Also the noise might be interrupting someone elses sabbath. Hope this makes sense. Ultimately its between you and God.

    Such a good question you posed, Matt. When I was a young girl, Sunday was always a family day. We couldn’t have friends over, we couldn’t go to friend’s houses , and most stores were closed on Sunday, so there was no shopping available. We visited our grandparents or just stayed home. It was one of the few days we got to see our Dad because he worked 2nd shift, so it was extra special in that regard. It’s harder these days to “observe the Sabbath” with so many worldly distractions, but I do try to make iit a calm, easy going day. Sometimes we do some work, but nothing that would cause any great stress. I’m trying harder to also make it a no social media day. That seems to help! Thanks for sharing your heart! ❤

  • @GregK-pv5xe
    @GregK-pv5xe 13 днів тому

    Thanks, Matt. I know it takes time and effort even to put together an impromptu style cast. I really enjoyed it and of course everyone you talk to is going to have a different opinion from you can do anything you want to you can do absolutely nothing. Personally, I think it falls somewhere in between. I think we need to recognize God even more on the sabbath and make sure that we keep him involved and at the front of everything that we do including thanking him for these beautiful days and time with family not to mention the abilities that he’s giving you to be able to do this stuff. I know what it’s like to have that taken away. This is the day that the Lord has made. We shall rejoice and be glad in it. For me that means enjoy the day, appreciate the day and appreciate everything that God has given us. Recognizing that every single thing we have comes from God is just one way to recognize His Holiness, and to be Holy as He is Holy. Since the death ofChrist on the cross, we live in the grace dispensation era by New Testament rules not Old Testament laws . The Old Testament is still of great value for instruction & should never be dismissed.

    So go to a pro shop and "use" them to figure out your DL, poundage you can handle, pick thier brains, shoot their bows, and then screw them out of a sale? Folks, this is shit advice right here. Most shops are small, family owned businesses that need the dollars from local buyer to stay afloat. Support your local Archery Shops! It is very difficult for them to stay profitable and keep the doors open. Don't do what this clown is telling you to do.

There is something to be said about having a good warranty from a good company. But for guys just trying to get started youll be amazed at guys selling fully loaded flagship bows from just a few years ago cheaper than the bow was new!

    I feel really old. I am still shooting a Martin cougar from 1994. The only thing I have upgraded is the arrows and string. Still accurate put to 70 yards consistently. Paid $700 new. I can't see spending today's prices period. I'll admit the new bows are light as a feather and have smoother draw cycles. It still comes down to a string to fling a arrow.

      I have to disagree on only one point of your post…. Remember this is my experience. The new bows of today are not as smooth as the older ones. I could be wrong but when I go into the store and pull one of them back, I smile and think to myself how great it is that I still have my cheetah! Our bows are about the same age. I would not trade it for anything 🙂 May your shots be true and your ethics admirable from now until the last day!

    I buy a new bow every 25-30 years. I was given a pse in mid 1980’s, purchased a 1992 Jennings carbon extreme that I shot until the limb pockets wore out. I purchased a new discontinued Mathew’s for 1/2 price in 2017. I know a 7 time world champion that has shot the same bow for 15 years.

    Used bows are good if you work on your own equipment or are in good standing with someone who can. You don't get warranty support, except if it has a transferrable warranty, but I have yet to need it. I haven't bought a new bow since 2016, and that was an Evolve 35 that was on an "end of year" closeout. Bows that are a few years old are just as good as anything coming out now because technology has hit a plateau.

    My current 2013 bow specs are 340 fps, 35" ATA, 6.25" brace height, & 4.5 pounds. If I replaced it today, the 2024 (same brand) bow specs would be 342 fps, 34" ATA, 6.25" brace height, & 4.5 pounds. I would feel like a fool replacing my 11 year old bow. I prefer my bow over their current model. I wouldn't trade my bow even up for a new one. I have no intention of replacing it in my lifetime. I see no reason to do so. Bows haven't changed much spec-wise in the past 10+ years. My days of buying new bows are done! Buy a brand that's going to be here tomorrow, & enjoy it for years to come.

      My younger brother is 58 years old and started bowhunting at age 12. He first compound was a Browning (wood rise snapped in half eventually). His next compound bows was an Xi that was stolen from his car 20+ years ago. He used the insurance money to buy his current Hoyt. He has owned 3 compound bows in his lifetime. He harvests deer like everyone else, and he pays cash for his full size pickup trucks (could afford anything). A quality bow is an awesome investment. It's only a bad investment for those who fall prey to the marketing hype & keep buying new bows year after year.

    • @draggindeeroutdoors
      @draggindeeroutdoors 16 днів тому

      By all means, buy whatever you like. IMO though, I think you often get a better bow buying a used bow that was upper end when it was new vs a lower price new bow. My PSE evolve is a perfect example…was a $1000 bow in 2018, bought it 4 years later for $430. I think it’s a better bow than a brand new $430 bow.
