I've had some dealings with RK and found him to be reasonable and helpful. With this said I think that a mod on a forum, especially one as visited like AT, is a horribly thankless job. I would hate to do that, you would always, everyday, be pissing someone off. I went to a shoot once in Pa and shot with a guy and we got to talking and conversation turned to AT. He tells me his name on AT then looks at me and says, "your not Doc are you, cause if you are we're probably gonna fight". Luckily I wasn't (he was bigger than me ), but he was pissed cause Doc had to call him on something that he didn't agree with, and blah, blah, blah. Same ole, same ole. Just think they have a tough job and for the most part they do a great job.

Recordkeeper called me while I was eating supper. We talked a little about the deal today. Recordkeeper has been a little out of pocket. He has been in Jacksonville, Florida. He is a federal auditor. I think most of you would really like Chris if you got to know him. I attended a field shoot his shop hosted the fall. I shot in a twosome with Recordkeeper and will gladly do so again any time I get a chance. In his position over there as Administrator he sometimes has to make some tuff calls. I don't envy him even one little bit. It's easy for us to criticize moderators and administrators on web sites, but they have tough and thankless jobs to do. I thank them for the efforts they make.

Its funny, being on the computer makes some little guys pretty tough! Its easy to get lippy when looking at the screen!

sounds like that song from Brad Paisley about Myspace...when he goes from 5'6" to 6'5". I just wonder why people take it to hart.

I just called Recordkeeper back and asked if he is an Elite dealer. He said Donna set him up as a dealer but he has never had one in his shop or sold one. So he is a dealer but you can't see one in his shop at present. Maybe the not to distant future. One thing I will mention though is that Recordkeepr is left handed and his shop does cater to left handed archers. He also carries BowTech, Martin & Mathews that I know of for sure as well as a lot of Olympic Recurve stuff.

I don't mind spilling the beans!

I became an Elite dealer very early on...I'm thinking probably April or May of 2006. I did try to place an order, but was told at that time that I would have to pay before the bows were built and shipped. At that point in time, there was some evidence in the archery world that this would be too big a risk for a struggling little archery store to take.

You can check my posts here and on AT...you'll see I have always said that Elite bows are very well designed and built. Now that things at Elite have stabilized, I will be placing an order probably in January. I'm hoping there will be a nice selection available in left handed models so I can shoot one myself if I decide to shoot some 3D this year.

To me, the true advantage of a speed bow is to be able to shoot decent speeds at lower poundage. I never shoot any bow over 54 pounds. My shoulder just won't let me. (I broke my left arm right below the ball of the shoulder in a football injury...the same injury left that shoulder both dislocated and separated...and the fracture was compound. I had a very skilled surgeon, but really need to have the pins removed and some other residual problems corrected.)

As for the thread on AT that precipitated this thread here...yes, we are not going to tolerate members who create alters for the purpose of causing discontent among members. He was banned by one of our moderators, and after I do some research later tonight his primary account will probably be locked down too. But I digress, as it is my policy not to discuss AT business on other sites. When I come here, I want to have fun and forget about work!

Thanks Recordkeeper - that means alot to us here at Elite Archery. And we will do the same here.

Lets just have fun!!
