Hey Roy,

Did you ever use any of that boo I sent you? Just wondering? I haven't tried any of it yet. It looks dry enough now.

No I haven't. I'm thinking it's not quite wide enough. But it's dry also so I may cut it out to see if I get enough width.

Is this bow 63" or 66" as stated in your 1st post?
I'm thinking 63" 30" draw is not "just another bow"..

It started out at 66 inches end to end. Now with the deflex/reflex, it measures 63.5 end to end. But that's as the crow flies..  :)  

The draw is not 30, it's 29. I just tiller a bow one inch farther to be safe. And what's one more inch, Zradyboy?  :)
