After putting plenty of venison in the freezer, my 90's GE finally dies. The cam module exploded, sounded like a .22 going off and stripped the cable from the wheel. Talk about great timing, I just got it back with new string work and tuned her in, shooting great then WHAMMM. :yikes: With less than a week before season. Now I'm looking to trade since cash just isn't there for a repair that would exceed 50% of the bow's sale value. I have a couple possibilities out there, one being a MS member, the other out in Lapeer....Oh isn't life just grand:rolleyes:...lol
I hope everyone has better luck during season than I am before. Be safe and remember to remove those inner loins!:D

Just throwing this out there. I have 2 old round wheel ( dinosaurs) bows in my garage. 1 is a PRO LINE Buck Hunter the other is some old Darton. Just been keeping them around for the kids as they get older and plinking old arrows. You would be welcome to use one, but I have to warn you; they are probably 70's early 80's.

First I have to say, my inbox is full...lol I can't believe the responses fellow MS members sent me. One even offered me his Elite GT-500 as a loner...thanks Kelly!!
I have been alble to trade a nice over/under and picked up a ready to hunt Martin Jaguar with nitro cams. I love it! At full draw it's like holding air and it's quieter than any bow I've ever shot. And I'm holding a fletching touching group at 25 yards with no peep. Going from a late 90's to this is night and day. It's so fast I may even turn to the dark side of Mechanicals...ya got those for me MyDogisScout?...lol

As a matter of fact, the bow came from Lapeer county, so I know it was never used...LMAO...:lol:
