KSCATTRAPR,
I gave them a fairly wide range of weight options, anything from 55 to 60#s at 28" would work for me, and I prefer something in browntones versus the reddish tones associated with juniper or cocobolo, cedar, and such.
My turned out to be myrtle wood and is 57#s at 28".
I'm under the impression that most guyes on the list are wanting lighter weight bows, but that is just a guess.
Jack, I hear you, but when you already have multiple Robertson Stykbows of various woods and designs, the risk associated with an unknown that Dick describes as his best bow design ever - well it is worth the risk to me.
