I was wandering where in MO rosewood grows  :dunno:

Osage is pretty much a nuisance tree around here, but grows more like a bush than a tree. Most people will let ya cut what ya want, but good luck finding something straight.

Actually its not very good at all. Was hoping to see the arrow flight better.

Took the bow to local archery center.
I think it went well.
Tried it thru a chrono and got 171 172 173
500 spine black eagle with 3 fletch. Not sure of the weight. 31 nch long. 125 gr tip with aluminum inserts
Bow is 44lbs at 28 and shoot near 29.
Target I'd at 20 yds

Tried it out to 40 yrds. Magnifies the poor form obviously but I managed to keep it on the paper .
Very impressive bow design imo. Arrows appear to fly well but my eyes arent young anymore.
Just need to get my form back...if I can!
