Thanks again for all the suggestions, guys.
old_goat2, PM sent.
Mick, Rainer will be here tomorrow, so we can talk about it. I'm considering sending him off with the full length GTBG200KPs with a minimal footer and let him try trimming to length. 50/50 shot maybe. Stu's calc says it will work, and old_goat2 is gonna try to help. They'd weigh 800 before trimming...
Yote at Robertson could not recommend a shaft due to not much real-world experience at this draw weight/arrow weight. It was refreshing to get honesty instead of posturing from a bow company tech/bowyer. He did say it was a center-shot recurve so that may help. Anybody know a center-shot recurve that is in Stu's calc?
