Default Valentine V1 rebuilt!

I have had my V1 for 5 years. They have some new technology and mine wasn't working properly. I sent it back to them with $75.00 and they upgraded it to new tech and fixed it' problems. I got it back less than a week after I shipped it to them. Great service. I have a box of old escorts that I don't know what to do with. Little more money for a V1, but it keeps going for a much longer time. Love the arrows!

This has been available for some time and is a good benefit they offer. All you need is your serial number and their web-site gives you all the info regarding their upgrade services, cost, etc.

I upgraded my V1 for POP2 and it was less than a week from the time I sent it to return. Great service. Turned off X-Band and now have very few false positives
