Looks great. You look  comfortable with 80#s.

Thanks Everyone,

This bow is really fast. Shoots like a rocket launcher. I was shooting all day and I have to say I very happy with how it's shooting. It's my first heavy bow. I decided to make the step up from shooting a 47lb bow for the last year. I like shooting all weights and it's nice to shoot all day and not be tired. I was tillering away and aiming for 60lbs but knew the stave could handle 80lbs but wasn't sure if I could. I left it heavy and when I was finished I could barely draw it to full draw. I think I'm talking to my wife in the picture above to tell her to hurry up and take the picture...lol Once I shot it a couple times every day for a week I was fine and it feels normal to draw to full draw. I also feel stronger in the shoulders, much like when I started shooting my 47lb bow from never having shot a bow...sore and tired but not in pain. If I loose some rockets over a chrono I'll let you guys know how fast she is.

Thanks again for all the nice comments,
Mario

Mario now that is a step up. Beautiful tiller too. I have yet to get a piece of yew but one of these days I shall try the legendary wood and see for myself. I have heard so many good things about its springiness and beauty of the contrast in sapwood/heartwood I look forward to it. Once again great job.   Danny
