Cool Clint. I'd like to see how they compare.
  Its funny...the arrows that shot so well from her at 65# also shoot well at 56#.  :D

Thanks Mike. Great to see you around. I'll let you shoot her if you come back to the Classic in late April.  ;)

Your Little Thumper turned out very nice, Pat!  It would have been interesting (while at 65#) to shoot it against Badger's 50-pounder to compare flight and speed.  I would have reduced it myself, though.  65# is a bit heavy for us older fellas.  Can we do it?  Yes.  Over-and-over? Not without a sore back and shoulder after a 40 target course.  Really, cool Pat.  Glad she was a success for you.  Can't wait to see it at the Classic.  Good on ya!

Thats awesome Pat. Congrats on a sweet looking bow. If you hang on to it I'll try it out in the spring.
