I do not use the bow data with stu. I bare shafted with carbon (does not break as fast). and used the results to find the wood spine and it worked well for me. For the bow data I machted it with the arrow data with personal factor 5!!!!!!. A hill bow is much powerfuller that standard data on stu. In my case and reading here with more people this the fact.

Yep a good Hill is better performer than a generic self bow.

And a good self bow is better than a generic hill??
Agreed! Tried one several years ago and hung up the idea of shooting one it was so bad.

Finally got my setup finished. I'm shooting a 60 @27 Liberty English. I'm drawing spot on at 28 now that I've got my bent arm form down. shooting 31.5" gold tip 75-95 with a 250grn head and 50grn insert. Total arrow weight 680 grains and they fly like darts. Thanks to everyone for advice and the freely given information. I don't post a ton because I tend to adhere to the Mark Twain rule "better to stay quiet and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt"

3F, just tell Craig your hand size, as he is able to make the grip to match. Also, there really isn't too much difference in how the various models perform, and it is mostly about individual aesthetic preferences. The Crocodile is thought to be the slowest by two or three fps in general, due to the extra weight in that timber. Performance difference is negligable. Choose one you like (well, you've already chosen) and go for it!

I don't know what poundage you want, but Craig has several Cheetahs already built on the in stock section. They may have one that he can try. This way you could tell him to make the grip a little smaller if you need be.

I already have pics of a couple of his stock cheetah's including the one with the cocobolo riser. I have grip specs on them as well and none of them are very large. PM me and I will hook you up with that information if you want it. I was planning to buy the cocobolo Cheetah but went a different route. It is one of the prettiest bows I have ever seen.

I took measurements of depth and width for the grip, as well as 2 pictures of a grip shape I really liked from another bow, and he copied it nicely. That's the only way I'll do it moving forward!!
