Thanks guys, Paradocs, big thanks to you! It is a sweet bow for sure. So far I am getting used to the grip. I have slapped my arm a bunch. It's quite a bit thinner than the sage. 48# it is zipping my 466 gr arrows. It draws so easily, it doesn't feel like 48-49#. It's very quiet even with my arrows. I have not messed with the brace yet. the rec from Great Northern is 7 1/4- 7 1/2 a very small variance. It is set right now at a touch under 7 1/2. The bow has very thin string from A.S. looks like an 8 strand. I think Allen and myself are going to tinker a bit with strings at the end of the month. Im not sure if my arrows will work. 3555 trads gt at 29" 195 gr up front. Im very happy with this bow. How do you post pics? Please tell me.
