Acquired an "Addiction" at ATAR
« on: July 13, 2010, 08:15:00 PM »
I have been looking to decrease the weight of bows that I shoot for a while now.  I went to ATAR last weekend to test bows that I may be interested in.

My first(and last) stop was to the Anneewakee Archery booth and my friend John Dill.  Bernie Dunn has been talking about how much he loved his "Addiction" so I wanted to try one out.  It just so happens that the bowyer, Lee Hoots was there as well.

All I can say is Bernie was right.  The bow I tried shot smooth and fast, and felt great in the hand!  I was hooked....

Meeting Lee helped, because this is a real great guy to talk to...and having a friend like John Dill sealed the deal!

The bow is 56", and 49#@28...which with my 26" draw will be perfect for me....rosewood riser with
bamboo limbs...a real shooter and looker...

I would like to thank John Dill for the bow, and especially Lee Hoots for making such a great bow!
It was great meeting you....

Here are some pics of my "Addiction"....

Nice.  I like the color combo on that and the black line in the riser.  Nice slim forward grips is a + + for me.

I had the pleasure of seeing Lee (Vivian) and his new Pride and Joy just shortly after he sealed the deal. It is a beauty and I know he will not regret it. Boy was he pumped - but then, so was I when I got mine , and still am - even more so if possible. Good work John Dill and Lee Hoots. Good choice Lee Vivian.

Have you named it yet, Lee, or do you do that?

Don't usually name bows, Bernie, but in this case it may deserve one...will think about it and shoot it a while before deciding.....I bought it Friday afternoon...shot a fun course Saturday morning, then the comp course Saturday afternoon...and the coon shoot saturday night....it shoots great, now all I need is some work with it......

Right after got it John started the quiver sales pitch...the man doesn't give up...I'm thinking a kanati Slim Jim Quiver.....

Great looking bow Lee!!  I shot Lee's personal 54" bow and I'm definitely gonna get me one as soon as I get the funds!  It handled like a 54" and drew and shot like a 60" bow.

REALLY nice shooting bows. What a hoot it must've been to be able to talk to the bowyer too. John is a great guy to deal with also. Sounds like you had a great weekend. Good shooting!   :archer2:

Lee, great choice. I wont be in the woods much without mine this year. I think the slim jim is the ticket on these bows as well. By the way, enjoyed your photos as well. Don

I am for sure firm and strong on the Slim Jim Kanati Quiver - especially for hunting but I'll let mine wear it all year. The right name will come to you, Lee.

Lee, John could sell ice to an  Eskimo.You are lucky you don't have a bow for each hand now!   :biglaugh:

Pretty little baby bow you got.Maybe Lee will build a full grown bow one day.   ;)

Thanks, everyone....I practiced some at the archery range monday night, and tonight I shot our club's Wednesday night 3D's.  It shoots just as great in Pennsylvania as it did in West Virginia!

I took a picture of the bow with my Iphone....actually I just climbed a big hill and was resting before the next target...   :rolleyes:

   


I got to try some different arrows, and it shoots my wood arrows, my grizzly stiks, and my Carbon Express arrows equally well....think I'm gonna like this bow...shot one of my best scores tonight, even with the heat!

Christmas in July in my house!
