Two years ago after all our hunters were tagged out in 3 days I decided to hunt a bait we could not bring clients and was fortunet enough to kill that 615lb bruin. Skull was short for such a huge bear and measured right at 20" My dad killed a P&Y 255lb bear the same night(4th day of the season.

This past season we personaly did not hunt at all and the biggest Bruin killed was 475lbs.

I have been interested in those myself. Guess if they turn out good, we can expect a discount for ordering them from you biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I personaly do not like them.
They are a basic mount that I normaly would like for simple and durrable, but they come with a plastic wingnut that does NOT work well. So far every one we had to take the plastic wingnut cap off, then heat the allen head and pop the center plastic piece out and use a standard allen wrench.

The machine work is wrough, they are not polishing the parts or if they are, they are doing just a quick tumble.

The sight itself is fairly decent, exept if you get the sight with pendulum or fixed mode, most users have a hard time figuring it out.

Personaly I don't want any sight that works only by turning it on and then by me moving the bow.

Maybe it is simply ahead of its time, but so far, my customers responce is to return the item and go fiber optic.
