  Mark, just physchological I think, I checked the mass and it is right on target at 30 oz. Should finish up at 29 oz.

Just make sure you keep enough wood at the handle  :)

Yeah.. and might wanna do a few extra push-ups before the full draw pic. Wouldn't hurt to have phone nearby to dial 911.   :laugh:

Very cool to see this being done Badger. Not sure if I can watch the video when you pull those last few inches, I'll probably flinch just seeing it bend. Hope it holds together and if it blows I hope it doesn't shatter the computer screens
of all of us who watch it. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
