Thanks guys. That wealth of knowledge was passed down to me so I'm just passing it on to the next generation. Soon it will be your turn to pass it on. That's what PA and this forum is all about...passing it on!   (--)  :BB  (R  (-S  (W (S)  (SH)

Here you go, Brad. This is after resting all night, about 3 1/4" from the back of the handle to the deck with the belly up. Next time I shoot her I'll remeasure right after unbracing.

She is a dream to shoot. Having the right arrows will make it better.  I have 6 matched Sitka spruce shafts I'm going to set up for Elg Bue.

OK, Brad, I put another 25 arrows through her this morning. I think this is the fastest bow I've built so far. I don't have a chrono but it feels faster and shoots very well. After the 25 shots I checked the reflex at unbracing and she holds 2 1/4" of reflex. I'm pretty happy with that.


Maybe with the new arrows she'll shoot even better.
