So 40# @ 28". The problem is that I draw 27-27.5" which will put me just under 40lb rather than just over 40 like I wanted. Another problem is that Mark came by and he is dangerous, he likes 50#. Next thing I knew somebody had done took a saw to my bow tips!!

She jumped on him but didn't go for the throat like I feared she would. She was present.

Too sweet! .....so at your 27", thats 41lbs...awesome! The other day shooting as a 64", it dern sure put you at 37 lbs then. Im surprised them arrows flew ok even if they did fly low. A net gain of 4lbs should help. Man aint that light weight nice?!?!?!?!

That is exactly the specs on my 2nd Maddog. (Bacote one)
41lbs @ 27" on a 62" bow! ( or 44lb @ 28")

Congrats on hitting the mark Tony! :D
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
