5,000 members in such a short time.  This is surely a milestone.  Jeff, it is mainly due to your goals for this forum and your willingness to let us members have a bit of freedom. You worked HARD to make this home for us crossbow hunters and we thank you for your diligences and your supervision.  I remember the dark days when you were crossing us over from the old site to the new site and what you were going through.  I want to take the time to also thank your wife and children for their patients too.

You did good, my friend.

I for one am very glad this forum existed.  I was looking for something dedicated to the crossbow when I bought mine a month ago.  It seems that on some of the other forums they either are all that active in the crossbow section or you have to put up with the Anti's....this I can usually ignore but it still takes time to skip past those.

I have found lots of information that I needed getting this setup on this forum.

And a real plus is that we have a Barnett rep that frequents this board and I have witnessed his involvement in helping members getting things fixed.

Personally I haven't have a problem with the bow itself but I had an issue with the kit supplied arrows blowing all the inserts out.  A call to Barnett had me 5 replacements sent out.  Then last week something really odd happened to my scope.  I started seeing black spots in it and when I went to cleans the glass I discovered the black spots were actually inside the scope....I am  58 and have owned many different scopes over the years and have never witnessed this kind of an issue.  I contacted my pro shop where I bought it and the contacted their rep.  My replacement scope should be in on Monday....very happy with the service I am getting.  Although I wish they could ship out things like this a little quicker.


Edited to add that I now have 134 shots fired with this box and the cables and sting still look new....Yes...I actually have kept a log on the number of shots....anal retentive maybe????

Thank you so much for the kind words.  I have put more time than most would believe into making this site something great for all to enjoy.  Give Specialized a big pat on the back too.  He is a major contributor in helping make the site what it is, and puts in many hours without getting much in return.

Oh, Specialized get a lot of pats on the back.  He get 5,000 friends who never misbehaves.   Well, almost never . Joking aside, Specialized does a superb job in keeping us going in the right direction without getting in our face.  He is a big plus to this forum.  You two make a great team to have keep watch on our site.  Thanks Special.
