Well, I don't have such lofty goals as you do; that would be some bow, by the way.

I'll take a 69 Super Kodiak in pristine condition, and be happier than a hog in slop.  8^).

A 56" longbow that will put out a 750 grain arrow with 28-30% FOC @ 185 FPS and have a draw weight of 56-60# @ 28"

No metal riser either.

If it looks great great but I am for the performance mostly.....pretty is not a must

Well said Jerry. With that, I'm happy with mine. Course I would take about 10 more of the same, all with different lengths and draw weights of course. And different woods.   :bigsmyl:
