First impressions:
Very well made. Glue lines are tight, and wood looks nice. A few pores aren't completely filled, but it takes close inspection to find them. The finish is matte...almost feels gritty at first. I like it...no glare and positive grip.
The grip is a little bigger than I would have hoped, but not uncomfortably so. I seem to have no trouble getting a consistent grip, although I have to admit at 2 degrees, I didn't spend a lot of time shooting today.
This little bugger is going to be hard on arrows I'm afraid.
I know it's hard to tell, but there are two arrows in that hole! Unfortunately the second one took the cock feather off of the first. :eek: These shots were at 15 yards. It grouped pretty much like this at 20 as well. By then I couldn't feel my fingers anymore, so I had to give it up for today.
I just had a few mismatched arrows here. Most of them are at the cabin, so I'm sure the spine was way off, but the bow didn't seem to mind.
The bow is pretty quiet even without silencers. I added a couple cat whiskers and it just has a nice thump. Hand shock is non-existent. Speed seems to be very good for a 45# bow. Once I get some arrows matched to it and get to the cabin, I'll run it through the chrono to see just what it does. Seems like it will be plenty fast enough to do the job for me.
I've owned more bows than I'd like to admit...especially if my wife is listening...and this one won't take a back seat to any of them. The fit is excellent. The finish isn't shiny, but I like that. I look forward to warmer weather so I can really wring her out.
