Save $100 on the Leupold VX-3HD

My bow broke.

I came in from hunting yesterday after missing an opportunity at a massive buck.

I grabbed my bow put lf the toyota to do a little shooting before the evening hunt.

Pics are self explanatory.

Bow is a Scheels October Mountain Smokey Mountain Hunter. I bought it 3 years ago.

It's has been strung for a while. Shooting every day, etc.

Luckily I have a back up compound.
I was dead set on not killing a deer unless I did it with a recurve. That has changed, as I can't stay out of the hills. Lol.

Recommendation for a nice recurve that doesn't cost as much as a flagship compound?

I really like the simplicity and ease of carrying of a recurve. This compound is heavy as sin.

BTW. I was inside 20 yards of that buck but could not see him as he was on the other side of a rock. I had to sneak down a bit and he was sneaking out the back door.

Oh well. The hunt is a rush!
A wise man once told me “don’t use ALL of your superpowers when you draw that bow son”😂

If it has the Scheels name on it their company policy is essentially lifetime satisfaction guarantee (minus fishing rods I think). They may not replace it, but they may fix it at no charge or give you a new one discounted or credit towards something else. Talk to a white shirt in the hunting department. Scheels prides itself on taking care of the customer, especially on their own brands.

I already tossed the limbs.

Gas to get to Scheels is more than 2 sets of limbs, and I have no plans to travel that direction soon, so I'll just order a new set of limbs or a new bow. I haven't decided yet.

Working on getting my daughter through her deer season then will come up with a plan.
