Ill start this by saying my intentions are not to hurt anyone, nor to get a rise from any party. the following are mearly facts. make your own determination.
I will start my stoy back the last week of sept. when a long time member (who will not be named) posted he had a talon for sale. Now im a fairly trusting person, especialy of BFC folks so when i ask for pictures and they were not very good quality I did not get excited. The bow was advertised as "In good shape, used, new string,QD rest." $500 and a week later this arrived at the door. As you can imagined i was disappointed and slightly saddened by the way it and I had been treated.

As you can see- this bow has spent alot of time either in the bottom of a fish barrel or drug behind a pick-up for may miles. Aside from the flaking original camo dip, there were large oxidation spots im multiple area of the riser, the ESC limbs are nicked and beat all to hell for years, all the cables are rusty and the "new string" was a $10 POS ebay purchase thats 1/2" to short. The grips are trashed, cams and end caps abused for years, and some of the hardware was so bad it took much cussing and the trowing of a few things to get them out. And last but not least its so hard to miss the different color cam and draw stops.:jd:
