I thought I recognized that riser, but I remembered it as having more grain. Real feather crotch walnut that the pics didn't catch. Yes, you sure got a stunner, almost enough that I could be tempted into buying a take-down.    
If it weren't for that black glass...  JK! I think that was the right choice as well.

Tom,

What are your thoughts on the NItro?

I just shot one and it is a rocket launcher!

Charlie, you are right. My arrows are really spitting out of it. I need to chrono it next to my SXT recurve. They are the exact same poundage and that would be something worth knowing.

I agree, I would love to know how those numbers shake out. The NItro I shot was 5 pounds more than my SXT longbow, but it was much faster.

When I was still working out the design of the Nitro. I spent quite a bit of time messing with it on my shooting machine. In the end the Nitro was within 1/2 of a fps of  the same weight Evolution recurve limbs.Both were carbon and foam.

Thanks Bill, you saved me a 40 mile drive to the chrono and back to the wheelie shop.
