Test Drive!! Two 600 spine arrows with 175 grain tips, two 500 spine with 225-250 grain tips, one has 50 grain weight inside as well. Somewhere around 25 yards to begin testing, I can’t tell about flight up close.

Put some leather pieces for rest and side plate this morning, then some fur silencers. Can’t even see sideplate, same color as riser!

Then I picked out the arrows it liked best and test drive it. 15, 20, 25, yards.

You know Tony, if you decide to throw that bow away, you can send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly. :roll:

All the talk about building bows have given me the itch. I started getting all my bow making stuff together and making sure everything is in working order. I may be calling Kenny m for a few things soon. :D
