Bob B's New Cheetah 70" 48@28
« on: September 10, 2011, 12:15:00 PM »
Well I received the new Cheetah Hill bow yesterday, but I worked until 6:30pm and my boy had a football game at 7pm, so I had to wait until this morning to shoot it ... can you imagine how much sleep I got?!?!

Anyhow, so far I love it. It is 70 inches and says 48 at 28 ... I think it is heavier. It is still all good. I have averaged 580 grain arrows @ 160 FPS. The string is not shot in and the brace is still a bit high so I believe this will improve. My elbow is real sensitive to hand shock ... incredibly, no worries, I am surprised at how nice it is to shoot without my eyes blurring from the jolt. So, I really like it so far. I have a lot to do get her tuned proper, what arrows she wants, what brace, etc. However so far I am pleased at how well it does.

Any chance you can post these pics for me on Tradgang ... I have no clue how to do it.

Thanks again for all you help Mudd.

PS, the limbs are of course for a regular Cheetah, 2 cores of boo and back and belly juniper with a riser of Cocobolo.

Also, the arrows I made and were shot at 17 yards with broad heads at a foam target at the base of a hillside. I figured I shot ok for the first handful of arrows from a brand new bow.

Lastly, the white tape on the string is just a temporary knock placement for tuning. Once I get it figured, I will tie a proper knock and the tape will be removed.

PS: Congratulations Bob! Glad I could help.

I think it's a great looking bow myself but it ain't mine.

I seriously doubt Bob would even consider loaning her to me...lol

God bless,Mudd

Thanks again for posting for me Mudd.  Mine shoots pretty well 3 under as well.  I have the brace set at 6 1/2 now and lowered the knock point about an 1/8 of an inch.  My groups have tightened up a bunch.  I usually have 3 of 6 arrows touching now at about 20 yards, I guess about a 4 to 5 inch spread for the entire group.  It is fun to shoot.
