A 440 grain arrow would be 10 grains per pound

Thank You, simk! Yes the belly is stained with some black stain that came off. I left that like it was and looks good to me :).

That's amazing. Find a 440 grain arrow and see what you get. If you're confident that it will draw farther try 28" draw. I'm impressed, very hard to do.

Thank You, DC :)! I don't have any lighter weight arrow. Actually I was waiting for Your comment because I know we both are speed freaks and like extreme :D :D .... I also know that You don't like bridges :D.

Really nice looking bow and that’s pretty awesome numbers. I’m looking forward to seeing the full draw pictures to . I’m guessing they look great by the braced and unbraced pictures, not to mention the crono number

The "sinew backed" just sunk in. I've only made one sinew bow(not the horn bow)and it was quite fast so I'm not sure now if 200 fps is excellent or just really, really good. maybe someone else will comment on sinew bow speed. It is a beautiful bow by the way. I've always wanted to try lilac but lilac doesn't grow very big and usually has a proud owner. :D

Yes, lilac doesn't grow big. That's the reason my bow is so narrow. just 1 inch. But i have noticed You are a big billets lover :D... That's a chance :). Most of my bows are sinew backed because.... guess why?  :D...Ok, because they are safe and by my mind simple to make and tiller :D.
