One is of red oak and its at 45#@28 inches and shoots like a dream. The other is made from fir. Thats very experimental and a hassle to dry out. Turned in at about 30# @ 28 inches. Shoots arrows like a torpedo ill give it that.

Its a good idea to post an unbraced, braced and full draw picture of any bow. A good side profile shot so everybody can see how the bow is bending.
