I scaled it. Its 61 @ 28. I sure like the performance, but I don't know if I can get good enough with a bow this heavy. My Bowyers Flinch is a challenge for me with a 50# bow. I may sand 2-4# off. Ill try to finish it off this week and post some more pictures in a new thread.

Chris, if anyone should know not to over bow yourself it should be you. I thought you went down that road and were on your way to a full recovery! ;D Looking really nice, if the tip is anything to go on. ;)

I personally heard him say at my house many times anything above 55 he is just not accurate with. I say go with it and my money's on this will be the first of many excuses from him at marshall 2015. No excuses

I knocked it down to 55#. It's much better and easier to shoot.

No excuses!

No such thing as bowyers flinch when you're in hunting mode and a big old muley buck is in front of you  - you'll be fine!

I'm quite amazed by the apparent nonchalance with which you pull this off, reflecting tons of experience (and broken bows, I guess). Great work, great to see the progress and drawbacks step by step. Thanks for sharing!

Not too many broken bows Joachim, but a huge amount of experience squeezed into a very short time frame with a very supportive wife behind me the whole time. Not just anybody can spend 2 straight years in a bow shop without creating an irate wife!

Looking forward to seeing this Chris.  Half tempted to consider it on the Elm I've got going.
