I got the email, it says "up to 70% off, no code necessary". I have a recurve and it's a big improvement over the stocker.

I like my LRS. They're not changing the world for me, but I like em. I got 2 (one tall clear, one shorter smoked) when they were having the "garage sale." "Blemished" products... Something like 20 bucks a shield and I can't find the "blemishes" for the life of me. (I think that's just how they sell them if they've been installed)

Gave it to a friend, who gave it to a friend, and so on. They asked and no I don't want it back.

70% discount seems to only apply to the slow selling shields.

Yeah I hear ya. I had one on my old RK and liked it. But it seems the quality has gone downhill. And whoever QCs their shields must be blind. I ordered one and it had some pretty obvious defects. Scratches and bubbling distortion around the edges. I complained and they sent another one and the owner promised he would personally mail it. The second one was just as bad. I told them I'm gonna cut my losses and take my business elsewhere and I was promptly given a refund and a third shield. The third one looks the way I expected the first one to look. But I guess the old saying "you get what you pay for" rings true. I'll spend a little more next time for a quality shield.

I know that LRS changed their coating process for the polycarbonate shields. I noticed that the latest shield has way more reflections in it than the 2 year old shield I had on bike. Not happy with that at all. And that's with me always wearing polarized sunglasses. So no excuse.
Next time, which may be real soon, I think I'll try the expensive Freedom shield. Like you said, you get what you pay for.
