Mail it to me and I will let you know. With all that you have on your plate, you don't need another distraction.

I will find time to shoot it as soon as I get my shoulder surgery. I hope to shoot it next week, even if it kills me!  :bigsmyl:  Shawn

This 1 pc is one of the quickest tips I've owned, it was reasonably quiet, and pointed well. The only difference between the 1 pc and t/d is the overall mass wt IMO. They shoot very much the same.

Are they cut past center? I was wondering if they shoot a wide range of spine? Shawn

shawn,  i believe they are cut past center, exactly how much i don't know. they are very tolerant of a wide range of arrow spine. what are the spec's on your's??

either way, they are super bows. right now im using dacron on my silvertip (t/d) and it shoots plenty fast, stable and quiet. points well too....

good luck w/ it and congrats!!

Mine is 60"s and 54#s at 28"s. It is Dacron only, and I will shoot a skinny string no more than 12 strands. It is Cocobola and actionboo cores with Yew veneers. It also has th echeckered grip. I should have it by weds. Shawn
