Thanks for the kind words- I'm thinking of taking the first bow of this style that is 64"'s ntn and making it 62"'s so I can see if the p-lams and tip wedges in this new one are an improvement in any noticeable way. By shortening the first one I should end up about the same poundage on both and be able to do a side by side comparison.
