Hey Brad, I love those tips!!!!!! Any chance of doing a demo on those?

I have some finished pics if anyone is interested. I went from thinking I was going to do a high gloss finish, to flat. I have about 3 light coats of TB gloss, then 2 light frost coats of TB flat. I like the flat finish look...the first time I've tried it.

Strung, full draw and some test data will come this weekend...I need to let the finish cure just a bit more before messing with it.

Wow, now I see what we do in the COLD winter time. Stay indoors and build bows! I am jelous! I realy like the finishing touches you added! The personal grip, the overlays on the riser and tips, the thumb rest. Man that bow has some MOJO!
Good luck in 2010!

Ok a little testing today, at 9 grains per pound the bow shoots an average of 186fps (w/ fingers) at 28". That is with FF string and fur silencers. This bow is loud without the siilencers, but not too bad with them on. Its a fun one to shoot.

That sounds good with silencers and fingers,that is probably 7-8 fps less than machine w/release and no silencers.

Heck,come over and we will run it thru the machine here!!

If you add 10-15 for 2in of draw, 5 for release, and 1-3 for silencers that bow shoots around 202-209 probably 205 AMO. That's only 7 fps slower than a black swan and 5fps slower than an acs. Glad the bow turned out well.
