We shall see where we are as far as any increase tomorrow. It’s now 67”ntn. I did loose a little reflex height as a result. It’s now just over 2”. I’ll get some projected draw numbers and update.

I have only used dry heat, because it is much more convenient for me, and has worked so far.

Thanks sleek! Oh ya. Maybe not to compete per se but for folks to look at and shoot it if they like. It’s a snappy little bow but not sure how it would compete. Sometimes little things can surprise us!
