By golly! If that mean ol' doctor won't let you shoot it, you just send it on my way and I'll demo it for you and even pay the return postage!

Your in luck Kirk; Doctor removed restrictions so I get to shoot again, this means you don't have to put yourself out shooting it for me.

And oh yes; good guess Steve, scales said the same thing you did..
48# @ 28", just right for an Elk bow. Maybe I'll call it the Green Elk.
