I am going to check brace, not sure I really want to mess with it as arrows fly like freaking darts out of it.

Nice-looking bow! Did you make your silencers?  They look a lot like the ones I make from rubber bands!

Great looking bow.  I agree that the brace height needs to increase an inch or so.

I have a 43# @ 28", 66" Omega, love it. Will probably eventually order one closer to 50. Website states 5 1/2 - 7, Kegan will tell you closer to 6 or whatever shoots best for you. Mine really seems to like the upper end of the range and shoots very well @ 6 5/8. In my opinion you'd be hard pressed to find a better value, performance vs price is great and mine has shot where I looked since day one.

5 1/2 - 7 is correct. I edited my post to reflect this, would hate for someone to brace one too high and damage their equipment cuz of something I posted. Anyway, enjoy it, I know I love mine.

I have a 66" Omega, 47# @ 30" and just can't get enough shooting in.  The fastest, smoothest bow I've ever owned.  Mine shoots great @ 6 1/2" BH.  Twist your string up an inch and try it.  You can always go back to the current brace height if needed.  Don't be afraid to experiment a bit.  Ya might like it!  It may shoot quieter and with less hand shock too.  Go for it.
