Longest bow waiting time?

[Lynda]

It's six weeks today since I ordered and put the deposit on my Hoyt Vector 32, number 1 cam with 40/50 limbs. I was told initially that I had ordered in good time before the rush for hunting season. They estimated 2-3 weeks.

Apparently Hoyt are backed up with carbon orders.

Any long waiting stories to ease my pain??

We waited 6 weeks for my wifes bow. Vector 32 40/50lbs blacked out....don't feel bad. It's worth the wait

The middle one red and black..... Oh yeah it's a sweet shooting bow!

Aww - feeling better already. Maybe they'll call tomorrow...

Tres cool. Exactly how mine will look. I'm going to add some purple in the wrist sling - I've made half a dozen different ones to try out, lol. And I'll do a red/purple theme on my arrows.

Guess what I'll be dreaming about tonight.

Gohhhhlly, aggie. Hope it was worth it!

[Lynda]

You guys should order a trad bow something. 2 years is not unheard of..............

18 months for me and my Blacktail...2-3 weeks! Watch some TV, mow the yard or do your Honey Do's.

Try going handmade custom, that'll take a while. But they are all ne of a kind made to your specs, not like those stamped, conveyor belt machines
Just being funny don't get mad at me, please

M.E.B. is right about the trad bows, longest I have waited for one is 6 months. When I shot compound, I would do my research, and test the ones I liked. From there I would pick 2 bows and buy the first available one. Was alot less patient back then.
Good luck with your new toy, and post pics when you get it set up.

Thanks guys. I need to hear that it's not just me.

My hubby is a luthier - he makes custom electric bass guitars, and it can take up to a year to complete an order. All hand carved, finished etc. He is thinking about trying his hand at recurve bows too. I digress.

But for a compound bow made from off the shelf parts at the Factory?!? Wahhhh!

[Lynda]

I think it's a God thing. I am running ragged at work to get a new bookstore and cafe open for our church's new building opening next weekend. If I had my new bow I would be distracted. So, I'm thinking it's for a reason.

Hang in there plenty time before season.

8 weeks for my daughters lefty Mission Craze in pink marble, my avatar pic. They told me 3 weeks 4 max. Had to hear her complain and ask me why it wasn't here yet for a month. That's not aggravating at all!!!
