I'm loving it! have always been a fan of smaller, lightweight bows, and this one appears to be the pinnacle of that style. only 52" in length, but smooth as butter at my 28" draw. was super easy to tune. massive fan of the grip. and even though short/light bows can be finicky, this one almost feels like it's "telling me" when my grip/release/follow through aren't good. I can sometimes torque the string when coming to my anchor point, and this bow practically says, "hold up. you're torquing!". it's very strange, and very cool! it's 100% the best I have ever had arrows tuned to any of my bows.

edit: so here's what ended up working best for this bow (a slight change after some bare-shaft work). 51#@ 28" draw. GoldTip Traditional 3555's  (.500 spine), cut to 30.5". point weight between 125-150 grains. regular aluminum inserts. Three 5" shield cut feathers. I added weight tubes from 3 Rivers to get to a 540 grain arrow. they fly great. and best of all, the most dead-on shots I had today were with broadheads, so that's awesome.

haha, Norm! nothing worse than an angry momma bear!

I have a 2"x2" piece of seal skin I've been hoarding for about 25 years. that said, most bowyers use fuzzy Velcro, and it works fine. have it on most of my bows.

Quote from: Tim Reese on Today at 11:44:26 AMThe ones I have are black. Up to you if you wanna email me your info. I will never use them as I only use wood so no worries on shipping either.

thank you, Tim! I tried them out today (the black ones), and they flew great. I'd love to at least cover shipping, or maybe I can make a good purchase in the next St.Jude's auction to cover it,  if that works. will send you an email.

Been looking around to buy some fiberglass for a few bows I would like to make and my internet searching shows only clear or black bo-tuff. Is that all there is these days? Does anyone know of a source for colored glass? Thx

When not using a bow quiver my daughters and I use a Safari Tuff back quiver. Sometimes all of us have a mix of arrows in there when stumping and trade off which each other. Its really been a good piece of kit!

Seal fur/skin for me as well.  I have a couple patches left from thrift store fur coats.  Leather for the riser plate.

Is this flyer current?   The website does not work for me.  The phone number says " not in service" or something similar and the email gets returned as undeliverable?
Interested in going for the first time.

I like the thick rug rests.I believe the leading edge of the feather fletching passes through the rug rest with less disturbance.Its quiet as well

I used sealskin alot.I liked the pieces with thicker fur for the same reason as the rug rest.Their are other choices besides sealskin if you want fur.Squirrel etc.I have used chipmonks sometimes.

GFA quiver with 3 arrows and a spare string, sheath knife and an Asbell wool vest incase it gets cold near sunset.
Oh and a canteen of water.
