This is with a 500 grain arrow give or take a few. I can not pull 29" and shoot so Patrick's friend Devon had to shoot for me. Problem was, he is a 3 under guy and split was very hard for him. Most shots were in the upper 160 range. I dont know why the first was so fast and the rest were not aside from Devon was having a hard time shooting.

The pictures don't do it justice guys! I shot this thing myself and it's a very smooth shooting bow and should fit a first timer very well. It literally has a mirror finish and only took 3/4" of set. Patrick

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Yeah, this guy never shot a bow before. So I hope he enjoys this one. Said he has strung and unstrung it many times already getting used to the bow. I think the arrows are too heavy for it but they do shoot well.  3/4 set isnt terrible considering its 62" long stiff handled and pulls 29".  If yall look close in the pics there is a string between the handle and draw string. As the bow is drawn that string is pulled taught. Its set to be all the way taught at 29" of draw to prevent overdraw, this guy being new and all...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Im proud of it. And im sure the new owner will take care of it and thats a good feeling.  Im working on another right now very similar. I like this design and intend on figuring out exactly how best to get the most of it. Will be doing much chonographing on it as I build more.
