DumbassDon,
No one cares about your cheap Chinese junk, nor what you DON'T hunt with.
Go stay in your basement and see if you can't figure out how to suck start that crossbow (which isn't even the same one in your link, you stupid SOB). How do you REALLY feel about Savage99??? ...don't hold back now. He was on my ignore list for a while, but I was missing so much entertainment... he is back now.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

4ager his part to blame for this purchase,he's been egging me to go shoot some new bows, I tried resisting but everything fell into place today so why fight it EvilTwin will be proud. The Force grows stronger (pulling screws from hundred of miles distance ain't easy, you know). ![[Linked Image]](http://www.femoticons.net/images/posts/red_devil_emoticon.jpg) You have done well Grasshopper

G5 Meta 1/4" peep(stabilizer to come after) Pick it Monday 14th after I get back from the TX hog hunt http://www.mathewsinc.com/bow-builder/halon-7Those Halon's are nice. We've probably sold 40 or so since January 1st. Guys come in, pull everything from the rack, shoot a few through each, then buy the Halon! I notice a difference in the draw cycle between the Halon 6 and 7. The 7 feels smoother to me. I'm shooting a Hoyt Defiant right now, but have a Halon X arriving any day now. I may end up with a Halon 7 too before the dust settles. Congrats on your new bow!
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Man i wish you could have gotten your hands on an Obsession to try. I just swapped over to a K34. OMG this thing is sweet. Absolute best draw cycle I have ever felt. And ive shot a lot of different bows. This thing is flat amazing. At 34ATA and 7" bh even Elites Impulse 34 cant match its speed. The Def Con 6 and M6/M7 blow the Halon away. Better draw cycle, better back wall. More speed. Whisper quiet. Better warranty. Whats not to love? I have tuned a few Halons this yr. And they are nice. Best thing Mathews has put out since the SBXT.

For the record, I did try an Obsession before buying my new one. Very nice bow, but I just preferred something else (Prime).

I would have loved to try out an Obsession but again I'm not buying something without trying it and without having a dealer local.I can't fathom liking anything better as I was pretty blown away by the Halon,I had no intentions of buying a new bow I was very happy with the Heli-m

Didn't know you sold bows also. Will have to look a little closer. Archery was a big goal of mine when I took over. Local guy was a huge dealer and was tired of working seven twelves. We bought him out and moved him in. He's working for us full time, but still has lots of time off. He and I discussed the move for about 6 months. We made sure we had all his lines locked up before the deal was finalized. You probably won't see much online from us regarding archery. Good pro shops are a hands on thing. We may start listing used bows though.... Sorry for the interruption, just wanted to clarify.

IMHO it's best to learn how to setup/tune your own gear.
Not difficult.

Just ran some arrows over the chronograph 71 lb @ 28" draw length approx. 400gr arrow set up getting 283 fps seems about right for the Halon 7 and a 28" draw
