Well once I get my tax return I am going to be buying a new bow. This topic has probably been covered a thousand times and I'll probably get a thousand different answers but I am looking for an archery shop either in the Mankato area (I've been to the one in Kasota and wasn't real impressed) but I am willing to drive an hour and a half or so to the metro for a reputable shop with a large selection and great service. I seen in other posts that A-1 in Hudson is great but quite a drive for me but if its really that good I'm willing to drive! If anybody has any recommendations or ones to stay away from that would be great! Appreciate any help!

The purchase of a bow is not a transaction to be taken lightly. Buy it once, buy it right. A-1 is the place to make this happen. When you consider how long you have your bow and how important it is to get it right, the drive from Mankato to Hudson will be viewed as nothing more than part of your due diligence in buying a quality product from an expert shop.

Buying a bow is a big deal and not something you take lightly. I have done most of my business at Cabin Fever Sports in Victoria, MN. It is only about an hour drive from Mankato. Great tech guys, especially if you are looking into a Mathews Bow. They are knowledgeable and very good people to work with. It is a family owned business and they do not push certain things on you, as I feel A-1 in Hudson does. Just my input.

If you need any further input on the store, let me know, as I know the owner and he is a great guy that is at the store every day and always willing to help.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
