Thanks all! Pat im getting 183 with a 29" draw shooting fingers with 545 grain arrows (Im getting 50.1# on my digital scale at 29")  I cant believe it but I think it is faster than my carbon skinned long bows. Best guess is high 180s at 10gpp and 28" AMO draw out of a shooting machine. It has a classic "fast bow" FD curve with a a big preload "hump" and no stack to 29.5" I dont have a shooting machine built yet so I can only guess at the efficiency but judging by its silence and lack of hand shock its putting the vast majority of the energy into the arrow. I would love for you to shoot it and give me your impression.

Very nice! That is a great looking bow. Seems to be a killing machine.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Must make you feel pretty proud. Can't imagine having the talent to build something and have it produce great results.

I'm as 'bout as talented as a 1 legged spider playing an 8 stringed instrument!    :biglaugh:

Great looking bow.  Looks like a blacktail but you built it yourself.  That is great.

The new bow struck again this evening at about 6:30 pm. I really love this new rig! Sorry for the poor quality pic. Took it on a cell phone.
