    Default Waiting time...how to bear?

    I need your help.

    My dealer told me today that my new XL must come in each day.

    Heck, I'm almost 40, shooting bow since 28 years but I never ever have been so excited getting a new bow.
    I also have a Hoyt Katera XL on order but I don't care much how long that will take.

    I have no idea at all what is so special on Elite bows that it keeps me from eating and sleeping as usual. There must be some kind of virus doing strange things to my mind.

    So fellas, what have you done while you were waiting for your Elite bow?
    Is there a recipe that kept you from getting crazy?

    I know exactly what your talking about. I am currently waiting on envy #159 and cant wait to let some carbon fly. About all ive been doing to keep busy is reading the threads on this forum....and watching out the window waiting for the UPS man to show up

    Markus,
    It helps if you already own an Elite bow or two

    How do you think those of us waiting to try out the new bow and Silverflames feel?

    Design and build a custom knife while you are waiting. Treat the blade just as you do the Silverflames. Those folks in Solingen do a very good job. I have a Carl Schlieper "German Eye" pocket knife that I carry.

    I'm sure I will order another one after I've seen my first.

    Yesterday I made the 1.5" 150gr. at the computer.
    Will do the 125gr. tomorrow and send the datas to my grinder for calculation of the tool costs.

    Sweet Quickshot,,, i have #155 AT Black Envy that I absolutely love,, I've been shooting her now for some 6 months or so,, and to date I haven't found a bow I'd rather shoot,,,, I bought a 60lber and set it up with a HHA 5000 sight and Trophy ridge dropzone,, I shoot various arrows and have found that it's not onlyt quiet, but very very fast,,, I use an CSS custom string silencer, ultra 2 bowjax and sims limbs savers on teh limbs rather then teh Bowjax,,, the bow is quiet,,, I just ordered another set of strings and cables this past week from Wolfdenstrings,,, I'll keep you posted on how well they work,,, The Neally strings are awsome,, just couldnt afford a second set at 120.00 a pop,,,, Best of luck to you my friend,,, andy
