Dan, looks like you have your answer, just looking for some support. I would like to ask why you have not shot the MOAB? That is one sweet bow from all I have heard. I am getting the Thunderstick mag myself. I to am looking into using at least the same style and similiar weight bows. When you are able to post the MOAB for sale I would be interested, it is very similiar in weight and length as my Thunderstick mag that is coming. I have R/D longbows, Hill style longbows from 54#-60# and do have to adjust when shooting.

I bought the MOAB as my backup, I questioned my decision on not buying a foley backup, I really like the foley. Then I started thinking if I am going to sell the moab, I am better off not shooting it, the shelf shows it has never been shot. That way no questions if I dry fired it or abused it.  I kinda have my mind made up, but just wanted the gangs opinion, I'm not that stubborn that I couldn't change my mind.

I think getting more input is always good. If nothing else it helps us to feel better about our decision. I am actually thinking along the same lines right now. I just have a bow addiction and I need to try to narrow the choices. You are right it can only help with consistency. Good luck on your journey.

Why a back-up bow? Because stuff happens! I was recently reading "Longbows in the Far North" by E D Thomas. I quote: "Ray looked down in horror to see his favorite longbow delaminate right in front of him".

Makes sense to me.
