Since the woods have sprouted pumpkins, I went out and played with new bow this morning. I tried several different spined arrows and found that 55-60, 60-65, 65-70 all seem to shoot about the same, with field points. I also tried pine, chundoo, ash, ramin, and laminated birch shafts. As one would expect, the lighter shafts (right at 600 gr)-pine and chundoo-were spot on out to about 25 yards and the heavier shafts (all about 750 gr) were fine out to about 20 yards, then they dropped, fast. Also, as one would expect, the heavier shafts made the bow virtually silent, some noise with the lighter shafts, but I haven't intsalled string silencers yet. I shot the bow standing, kneeling, on both knees with my butt on my feet with no problems whatsoever-the closer to the ground, the more the cant. The bow draws and shoots smoothly out to 29" (that's the longest arrow I had). The grip makes for consistent hand placement and is very comfortable.
I went stump shooting in my woods. The 66" length was not a problem. I walked up on a couple of fawns that have been hanging around all summer, didn't see mom (no, they're not pets, they run if they see you). I shot 2 judo point tipped arrows and neither deer looked up from their acorns 30 yards away-that's quiet.
