This one we did for Gil. Came it at 60-65lbs@28". Elm very quick bow and dead in hand after shot.

That elm tree came off a bluff sitting on top of a gray limestone. Not a place you would normally find one. Surrounded by HHB.

Made limbs 1 5/8th way out then just narrowed tips. Had early string weight and felt about the same out to Gils full 28+ draw.

Fact that you need a bunch limb mass to keep That kind of weight.
Gil can shoot very heavy bows rather routinely. This bow was flipped a tad if i remember right it was pulling about 2.5lbs last inch or two.
