Can't wait for the pics and chrono results.... You can e-mail the pics to me, I will put them here, no probs!

Got done with some testing. Turns out my Heritage 150 made up the way it is with wrap and all weighs 504 grains and the CE .400 spined ones weight 554. I got some pretty amazing speeds, I hate to post them but I will when I get back from bringing my Golden(Max) to the vet, the old man is, well getting old!! Shawn

Shawn, here are your bow pics again from Abe's site. It's always great to read your detailed tuning and bow tests. Good luck with Max! Thanks for sharing. Keith

Wow, that IS nice! I'd really like to see some pics of the entire bow, to see how the static tips look!
Congrats again!

My bet is that that Tuktu will shoot at least between the 195 and 200 fps at 9GPP....

What a looker...those limb veneers are SWEET!

Yeah, I always seemed to draw 28.5"s or so, but with this bow I have measured it 10 times and had Cindy measure it 3 or 4 times. We get 28"s 9 out of ten and maybe one time 28.25"s. Been doing it even with my eyes closed and settling in. This bow drawing to 28"s and at 9.3 grains per pound I am getting 193fps. on my chrono. for a ten shot average. The high being 197 and the low 191fps. I stopped at an archery shop after I got done with Max and a ten shot string avereaged 197. It is very smooth and silent at the shot as well. I have some pics as I have it set up. I should also say that it can be shot from 7" BH to 7.5" braceheight for best performanc, I have mine at 7.75"s so if you lowered it down to 7"s it would be at least 4-5fps. faster from what I have been told. I will have pics posted as well. I dare say with nothing on the string and a low BH this bow will do 200fps. at 9gpp. All that said I really could care less. It is very stable and dead in the hand and the best part is I shoot it very well. I shoot my Belcher/Border combo a bit better but that is just because I am more familar with it as well. I was saying earlier that this bow will shoot a huge range of spine well due to it being cut well past center and it does. I actually am shooting a set of 75-80 woodies off of it cut to 29"s and 125 grain heads perfectly, out to 15 yards my bareshaft and fletched hit exactly the same. More pics coming! Shawn

By the way, Max is Ok just getting old! Vet said he actually is in great shape for his age. We just don't want him ever to be in pain or uncomfortable, so we got him some stuff for his arthritis and some pain meds if he needs them. Shawn

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #32 on:** April 23, 2013, 07:25:00 PM »

Curt, just get in touch. We can do a turkey/striper thing again this year and include Cade. I have that spot we hunted Bunnies in and have scouted it a few times and there are a lot of birds in there. 7-8 big Toms on the back side of BriarBack!! Shawn

Fine bow Shawn. Only problem is you should be watching the Braves instead of the Yankee`s..lol.RC

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #36 on:** April 23, 2013, 08:23:00 PM »

RC, one of my best friends is a Braves fan and they were playing good not so much lately. Riverrat is gonna post some more pics. for me! I will say this I am having to adjust a bit, everything is a bit high, I am not a great shot as it is, but at 15 yards I have had 2 Robin Hoods the last 2 sessions I shot. Pissin me off as arrows are not cheap, 35/55 Gt trads are shooting perfect too but only come in at 465 grains with 175 up front. I will try and get a pick of tips as well. If ya go to Abes web-site you can go to Model section and see a strung and unstrung profile. This bow has big hooks, they are even more pronounced than my Hex-5s and they are big benders! I believe part of the secret is the limbs being so limber, hard to explain but I know Curt saw it in my Arroyo, you can take the limb and push it in towards string and it flexes with so little pressure it is unreal.

Thats sweet. Maybe youll leave that boat anchor home when we go to Ohio this fall and bring that pretty bow. Gotta bring us some mojo.
