G'day all,
Well after landing back in Oz and settling in at home I was looking forward to getting knee deep in my workshop, you know the drill... working on arrows, strings and the prep of hunting kit.
When I was working on Danny's forgewoods I had the idea of weighing my PSAX widow on our digital bathroom scales. The method i used was a long length of timber, a small grove in the end where the string rests and then I pushed down to a small nail that I put in on a 30" mark, that being my draw.
I did all my bows just to see where they landed in comparison to what is written on the limbs. Most, if not all landed spot on and when averaged out after a few turns I found the weight was spot on. Not that I dont trust the folks at BlackWidow!
Getting back to the point of the thread, what was a suprise was my PSAX Osage that I had made a few years ago( I sold it and was lucky enough to be able to buy it back off the same fella) was that this bow in marked at 70# @ 28. After weighing it 4 times in a row it came in at a whopping 80.1# .....
When drawing the bow it always felt kind heavy at the end, now I know why!
So as the thead is titled... I've now got my Buffalo bow, all I need now is a few Buff for testing!
Oh and I think the bow's name now suits it hands down....."Discipline".
I'll post some pics when I can find my SLR.
AK.
