I just know it's quite a bit more than mine, but that's exactly what he wanted. First a good long pull to see if it can handle those long armed guys like Mark!

Speaking of.... he showed up. Quality control is becoming more comfortable around him, but he didn't work on anything! He just drew the bow some and told me what to do on the riser to fit his big hands.

Quality control was trying her best to keep an eye out in case that big dude came back. It was a tiring job on her.

Well the bow has got to have a new string, this one is a 12 strand and the bow needs a 14 strand with the heavier weight.
