Pappy,

As long the weather is sunny & hot, Sue will be happy!! Wish we could go too....they are wonderful people and friends (the whole family)!
One of those few and far between types

Frank and I both love them very much & when we first met them, we felt as if we knew them forever. You're going to have a great time!!

Enjoy!

Well, I got back in fromthe doctors and I also chrono'ed the bow. With a 470 grain carbon arrow, which is basically 9gpp. it shot with a draw of 28"s 194,192,192 195,195 and 195. It was not to scientific, but I had guy make sure I drew it to the 28" mark everytime. After we were done, he said I may of drew it a tad more a few times. This bow is sweet, I am still having trouble getting an arrow to fly perfect though. Shawn

Shawn--how much did you play with the Brace height??? mine likes 7 1/8 to 7 1/4 --different bow than yours but if mine drops below 7" than the arrows start to kick...good luck...

also ---good luck with your shoulder--hope you do not need surgery-- I try too keep my practice sessions around 30 min. or less...

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #26 on:** March 02, 2007, 09:24:00 PM »

I played some and it is at 7.5"s right now. Mark, bad news is that I do need surgery. I have a tear in my labrial(sp?) and my rotator cuff. I go the 20th. of March, until than I am shooting as the doctor said I really cannot hurt it much worse. Shawn

I have a 58" 46lb @ 28 and it will smoke an arrow even at that draw weight. Very smooth, stable and quite bow. I have been shooting mine for a year now and it is one the finest bows I have ever owned.

Golden Hawk · « **Reply #30 on:** March 03, 2007, 05:57:00 AM »

I'm not sure of the chrono numbers but I know that my Vortex 52@28 is a very quick bow. I shoot heavy arrows in the 10 to 11 grains per pound of bow weight range. The same arrows I used the day I shot Shawns bow. Realisticly you should get about 185-190 with arrows in the 9 grain per pound range.

Mark Fedrizzi · « **Reply #31 on:** March 03, 2007, 02:27:00 PM »

....Shawn--good luck with your surgery--hope all goes well-------Mark

Golden Hawk · « **Reply #32 on:** March 03, 2007, 02:29:00 PM »

Hope your surgery goes well. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #33 on:** March 03, 2007, 03:52:00 PM »

This chrono is dead on and as I said I drew it a bit beyond 28"s. I believe the 192 is dead nuts on. Kevin told me for some reason this bow, the first off the form was the fastest one of these bows he has made and I believe him. With the brace lower it was a bit quicker. I have played with this thing and arrows all day. I have finally found the perfect arrow flight and arrow. It is a carbonwood 3000 cut to 29.5"s and 175 grains up front. I finally settled on a BH of 8"s on the botton after tryni everything under the sun. I liked it at 7.25"s but everything I shot porpoised. I spoke to Frank(Sticshooter who had spoke to Kevin) and I tried again. I am more than happy now!! This is gonna be a great turkey bow!! Shawn

Shawn glad ya got it worked out. <><

maxwell · « **Reply #36 on:** March 03, 2007, 09:04:00 PM »

I have two Riversedge TD' recurves and I very highly recommend
them. I can't think of a thing I don't like. Fast , beautiful woods, great people, I have another on order wasn't sure what to get maybe the arroyo is the ticket I know I won't be disappointed.

Beautiful bow, Shawn. I may just end up with an Arroyo someday myself.

Hey Shawn good luck with your surgery let us know how you make out. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #39 on:** March 04, 2007, 10:17:00 PM »

To the top for a new sponsor. I am shooting this bow a lot as once I have the surgery I won't be able to for a while. I am paying for it, but doc said I could not really do much more damage. I put 200 arrows thru it today and I am hurtin' but this bow is a sweet shooter for sure! Shawn
