Swampbuck, I only got mine because he missed the mark for another guy. I was on the list for ANY heavy bow he happened to make that was 70 or more pounds. I was willing to take about anything that he felt would draw well at 28". I actually didn't know I drew almost 30". I should have went with the 66" vs the 62" but I took what I could get. Also the fact that he doesn't make them heavier then 60 or so pounds, I didn't have many options. Besides, if I would have said no, I might have waited indefinitely. I'm sorry to hear that he hasn't contacted you, but I guess you have to deal with that when it comes from one guy, completely custom, and not a big company that has multiple people to work on it. He has had some family troubles over the last few years and has really slowed down his pace.
Foudarme, nice! The one thing I noticed about the Tribute is that you really start to loose efficiency and energy after about 10 grains per pound draw. The 1001 grain arrow I shoot flies over 240fps, producing 128lbs of energy, while the 1200 only put out 118 (don't remember the speed, like 220 maybe). I know with other bows, they might like the heavier weight (ratio). The Oneida's, which look and shoot very much like a traditional bow, like the added weight, as well as the Mathews Black Max I use to shoot. I think brace height has a great deal to do with it. I'm going to try out those Grizzly Sticks when they are finished, and I'll let you know how they work out. And if you went any heavier, you might just want to throw a spear next time, it would be faster.
