The local shop told me they were expecting a couple of them in last week. I called and they did not show up. They are now saying 4-6 weeks. I made some calls today and found a couple in another shop 2 hours away. Lucky for me I have to travel to a meeting tomorrow and just happen to be going past the other shop on my way. If I find the time (Ha Ha) I may swing in and take a look.

OK, I stopped and looked at the Mission Craze. Yes, I bought it. I like the way it looks and feels. I need to get it set up and shoot it now. Will let you know what I think.

I shot the bow for the first time this evening. I just threw a old rest that I had in my stuff and shot some regular (carbon fletched non-bowfishing) arrows through it. Man, I like it. I cranked it way up (didn't put it on the scale, but it had to be close to the 70lb upper end that is on the specs) and it just pounded the arrows into the target. Then I cranked it down low and adjusted the draw length down to 19 inches so my 7 year old twins could shoot it. Then I cranked it up some and adjusted the draw to 25" for my older boys to shoot. It takes less than a minute to change the draw length, and no press needed. It shoots smooth, fast and quiet. Can't wait to get it set up for bowfishing and get some blood on it.

I got a Craze back in December and it sure is smoooooooooth. Tim at my Gun/Bow Shop gave me a Tru Fire Draw Device so I could just practice Drawing it inside, out of the miserable weather. The Draw Device is made with a Hook where the Caliper is normally located on a Release and is it used so people DO NOT Dry-Fire Bows in the Shop. You all have probably seen and used them. They weren't around 30yrs ago.

The Craze is the first Bow I've had since `78-`79 and it is amazing how much Design Progress has occurred with the Compounds. I still find it difficult to believe just how nice it is every time I pick it up. They are right at $300.

Tim is having trouble keeping them in stock. And another Bow Shop was out of them right at Christmas, but told me he had 40 on order. I went back to see him about two weeks later. He had gotten them in and already sold about half of them.

Just an amazing little Right Handed Bow which I plan to Hunt with.

But, I'm still trying to decide on a Recurve for my BowFishing. I'd probably have gotten a Martin Jaguar or a PSE Kingfisher, but I want to shoot the Recurve Lefty and Instinctive instead of Righty and with a Sight like my Craze.

Best ofluck to you folks.
