Well I couldn't handle the "hype" anymore and broke down and got myself a TT. Honestly....It's not just hype....they are for real!!
First off, I'm not the kind of guy that needs to legitimize a purchase by saying eveything I buy is a good item but rather have no problem admitting I was taken when it happens. Many bows/quivers/stands...etc. etc. have not been up to "snuff" for my hunting demands, and I'm the 1st guy to relay this type of info. to the next guy.
I received my TT (60", #47, phenolic riser, myrtle limbs) a couple weeks back and after oogleing over it for a while put it together and went through my ritual "set-up" procedures before shooting an arrow. I set the brace height, eyeballed the nock set, put on 2 sets of whiskers and trimmed them, padded the string groves (just a personal thing) and selected an arrow I thought was spined right. Now I only have 15 yards in my basement but set up for my 1st shot. No lie....dead quiet, flew perfect, and hit the center of a 1 inch spot.
So that's shot #1......funny thing the next dozen were almost all the same. I fooled around with different arrow/point combos and everything seemed to tune well. (even bare shafts and broadheads) I can honestly say it is the easiest bow I've ever had to tune.
In terms of shootability....very fast, great grip, smooth way past my draw length, no hand-shock, and like I said....whisper quiet (even with shooting 3 under).
The bow and me "clicked" (and I don't just mean my clicker) so well that I was elk hunting with it 3 days after getting it. I put it through a workout (as I hunt elk 5 miles back in a swamp) and no problems what so ever. Walking around shooting stumps was a blast as I can hit nearly everything I shoot at. Too bad I'm such a lame elk hunter that all I get to shoot at is stumps! I could have shot at a bull moose if I had a tag...oh well!
Just thought I'd post this thread as I don't want guys here to miss out on something great. I know for me, my TT and me are a great fit. I'm quite sure you'll be seeing us in a pic beside a big whitetail this November. I promise to post one as soon as it happens.
Thanks Brian for such a quality bow. Best of luck this season to everyone.....Ryan
