Those are VERY impressive numbers for a 45 pound bow.
I've been looking through TBB mostly at chrono numbers. They all seem lower than the numbers I'm getting. I'm beginning to doubt my chrono. For those that use chronos, does this look like a bow that shoots in the low 160's? I shot 10 shoots and all except a couple of errors were between 161 and 165. So it's consistent. My bows are all in the 155-175 range and they are all 40-45#

I know I posted earlier, but I can't help one more. This has got to be one of my favorites I've seen on PA yet. SO much character. You should call it... "Beauty the Beast"

I guess maybe ugly was a bit strong. I started calling it that when I first braced it. I'm getting used to it now. I really like shooting it. If I can get 500 shots through it it may become my shooter. Thanks again for all the nice comments. I'm noticing that my hat doesn't fit quite as well as it did

Fantastic! Those back-front wiggles mess with my head a lot more than the side-side ones.

I had offcuts from the billets and remembered the picture of the two archers looking at a wiggly arrow in TBB1(I think) so just for fun I made one. I'm afraid to shoot it. With the bent fletching there's no telling where it would go. I've had a couple of volunteers but I checked and it would cost $25 to ship to Tennessee(just picked that out of a hat). Too much for me.
