hey britts - you asked me what length I get for my draw length - I think you meant what poundage.

I get about 46#.  Unfortunately that is all my poor old shoulder can handle at this stage.  I would love to get some heavy hunting limbs up around the 50-52# mark - this bow would really smoke!

Good on ya Sutto. She is a looker. I know how she shoots. i got a new one last week. Mine was inspired by the one who went to South Africa. Its sorta like it but not the same. I just got back on the web after the winds of Ike knocked out everything in my area so I'll get some pics up soon. I'm on my second FF and have already put Jim on notice for the third next year.The next one is gonna be a light weight 3D bow.

Here you go, Suttoman. I'm not much of a photographer but this one is 58" and 50#@28".

Heydeer - Yes I remember when you got your first F/F you liked it so much you then got rid of the Widow.  However I did not know you had another one.  I would really like to see pics please when you get back to normal.

Thanks heaps for the pic's Hatrick - she is a real looker.  I like dark coloured bows that are sort of an understatement - this one fits the bill fine.

Cheers - Sutto

Sutto, Was really asking what length your bow is. I have a 60" FF and at my draw lenght of 29" I wish it was a bit longer.

Yes mike is correct - they are both 62".  My Turkey Creek is the same as well.  I find it is a good length, a compromise between not being too long but long enough so as not to pinch the fingers.

Britts, I draw 29 as well but really like the 58". I have shot a 60 incher and it was a bit smoother but I like the length and am gonna stick with it. I am gonna order another next year for 3D. it will be 62-64" and 45-50 pounda.
