Thanks guys.  

I will try it at 6 and go from there. I had it at 6 3/4 based on some other recommendations but I'm not happy with it there and tinkered a 1/4" up and down....need to try a little lower sounds like.

I had a dream. At the new hunting place, a large dry bottom network of sand pits, there was an angry 800 pound maroon hog and one that was just resting that was about 2000 pounds.  My farmer friend got scared and slid down the gravel and hid under the 2000 pounder, farmers do that. I shot the angry one, my shot was high and angling forward so I did not shoot a second arrow. Then a little  further a crazy small eight point buck came charging at me, my dog headed him off and they locked antlers.  An elk came up to watch. I shot the buck with an autumn orange 1920 with one of those three inch by nine inch broadheads. The arrow completely deflated the buck leaving just the skin and the head, flew through and completely deflated the elk.  Then I saw that my Morngstar was broke, it had a rounded knob with just three dry lines of Duco that had been holding the top limb on. On the way out I had stuffed something bloody in my back quiver, I made up excuses about that to the others that we met on the way out. I thought that I should turn myself in at the large game warden complex there, but the game warden did not want to talk to me because he had to go to the bathroom, then he went out to target shoot with another game warden. Not knowing what to do, we snuck out. I was thinking, will this be covered under some kind of a warranty? I will have to give James a call. Then I woke up. I hope none of this comes true, but it makes me nervous anyway.

Eating spicy food to close to bedtime can cause some serious problems.   :biglaugh:

No meds or spicy food. A bumped nerve and a dislocated rib, (thanks to a reckless local chiropractor), intense pain and not much sleep for a few days is to blame.

Sorry to hear that Pavan. Sore ribs are sure no fun, I speak from experience. Not to mention nerve trouble. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Soap Creek....I know what you mean about your Echo. Mine is identical to yours except for the brown glass. I have clear glass over my boo. They are amazing longbows. I was blessed to be the first successful hunter to take a whitetail with mine. Chuck mentions it on his web site. I think he was prejudice because I'm a fellow Michigander!

HA! Ron. I was maybe a bit jealous. I own the first kills for the Ambush, Longwalker, and a few other designs I make, BUT NOT THE ECHO!
I am happy you, A fellow Michiganiac, got it done and wish you the best of luck this fall. Keep me updated on your hunts.
BTW, I just sprayed two more Echos, one with Some pretty fantastic veneers. Stay tuned for pics.

Chuck. I'm pretty dialed in with the Echo for bow opener. I'm going heavier on arrows this year. I remember you telling me at the Expo that the Echo loves heavy arrows. I'll be near 600gns. I'll keep you posted.

Hey Chuck, great news, might one of those Echos be coming to my address...? (just ignore me, I had a patience once and did not like it)

The Echo is a great bow. I am sure the one I have ordered will be as smooth as the one I have been shooting this summer. Walnut limb cores anyone? Once you try them, you just can not stop with one bow.

Yes Mike, The Brown glass with Walnut core is yours. I did a little something in the riser for you. I hope you like it. The bow flat out shoots as well.
(and your patience are outstanding! Thank you)
Ron, 600gns will be sweet from that bow I bet(was it 51#?)
Thanks Ron and Mike. Grip Stitching time.
