   I pulled this thread back up to say that the slow cast WAS a moisture problem. I had left this bow sit since the original post until last week. I got it out and was completely surprised.It now shoots a 600 grain arrow with more authority than i would of thought possible. It is now the fastest bow ive ever built. Just goes to show you not to doubt the advice ya receive on this site.

Turtle, Just because the bow wood is dry, it still has to season or cure. This can take a year or more. In that time, a lot can happen with a wood bow.
  I have a nice, tall, straight flowering dogwood I will cut soon and look forward to giving it a try.   Pat

That's why we store our bows inside ,on a rack , up high , away from the floor/humidity...
