I just got my shipping confirmation, too. I ordered on June 1st.

Let me re-phase that...
What I actually got was a TRACKING NUMBER, not exactly a shipping confirmation.
When I track the package, it says "SHIPPING LABEL CREATED, USPS AWAITING ITEM". Location...Jordan MN.
Seems like it didn't actually ship yet, but the ball is rolling. One step at a time.

A couple of things...when I opened this thread on my computer, it brought me to page 1. So I thought...why not read through the first few posts. I had a good laugh. Of the first 20 posts, 2 were @Ihaveasecrt and 8 of the remaining 18 were members of the Tethrd Team. You guys did a stellar job of getting the hype train rolling! I'm glad you guys had the caliber of products needed to live up to it!

Oh, and if you are searching for the pic of the production version of the Mantis you have to go all the way back to post #2592... LOL. It's beautiful...

The funny thing is, this thread actually started inside another thread.

The thread was titled kestrel modifications, or something like "what would you like to see changed on the kestrel"

I created the ihavasecrt name and posted there first. I got tired of seeing all our design ideas being mentioned in that thread.

We decided to start letting you all in on the details even though we weren't totally ready.

Red called us trouble makers and moved us to our own thread.

Now the secret thread has a life of its own.....

Also, say a prayer for these guys' sanity. I know I always had mixed emotions about archery season opener when I worked at a bow press. It's a weird thing to mix passion and business. Highly satisfying and soul-sucking at the same time. Turning what used to be a hobby into something you HAVE to do even when you're tired and don't feel like fooling with it today can be rough. I'm sure none of these guys fantasized about dealing with supplier delays and licking stamps when they brainstormed this idea.

This is the EXACT reason I never started, nor do I want to start, any kind of business related to this passion. I don't want to take the fun and my personal drive out of it.

You know, every time I thought the spark was gone I'd get that one customer that made it worth it again. The guy that was just starting out and had fire in his belly, or the kid with the bow mom and dad got him. I met awesome people. I ran I to an old favorite yesterday and we stood there and talked like we went to highschool.

It's like a wife and kids. Simultaneously the best and worst thing that ever happened to you.

Yes if was very skillfully put together. Leading us down the rabbit hole. LOL.

I am glad things are finally starting to come together for everyone.
 
Seeing that my therapy sessions should be over soon, I can now marvel at the great job that Tethrd did in putting this together!

I wish I could just be a fly on a wall in Ernie's basement watching the whole process unfold....as I drink his bar dry.

Hahaha. I promise it's entertaining. One step away from pure chaos at times. Thankfully I have a very understanding wife.

It's been a lot of late nights and early mornings for sure.

I can't wait till you guys actually get to see this stuff. I feel like I'm wrapping Christmas presents down here.
