That quilted maple looks great against the phenolic.

First arrows at 20 yards … this baby is a shooter

please disregard the butt of this poor deer target, I use it to tune my BH's …

Today I had a bit more time to shoot my new Journeyman LB … specs are 49@28  60"  my draw is 28" … but I have a tendency but draw short some times under pressure    :bigsmyl:  

I shot FMJ 500's weighing 485 grains and Axis 500's weighing 560 grains, both have 145 grn points the Axis have 100 grn inserts. Both arrows flew well and no noticeable difference in speed, the Axis just hit harder, I was shooting at approx 20 yards . I do not have a chronograph but have shot LOTS of different bow and I would rate the overall speed as average + and definitely not slow. There was a noticeable pick up of speed when I dropped the brace from 7 3/4 to 7 3/8 … Jared recommends 7 1/4 to 7 3/4  I'll drop it down to 7 1/4 next as I do not usually have any issues hitting my arm and I do not shoot with an arm guard. The bow is very quiet.

The FMJ's were 3 fletch and the Axis 4 fletch, Jared uses a small felt riser plate that acts sort of like a raised rest, it's about 1/4" + in height and he uses a velcro side plate. Both fletchings flew very well. I'll try BH's next.
