Thanks for the compliments guys, it really is a nice shooter. Does anyone else have issues with this length in heavy growth areas to hunt? Our California deer are very skittish probably because of the over abundance of mountain lion but it seems every time I move to a shooting position I have to do so every so carefully because of the noise of plantlife hitting the bow or string. Parnell you are going to love the bamboo when you do use it. It is great stuff to add to a bow when you can already make one shoot well without it.
