It’s a smooth drawing bow. It doesn’t feel like it gains any draw weight as you pull it back. It really spits a heavy 700+ gr arrow right out there. It seems to like a 7 3/4” brace height, I’ll be playing with it more after I get the finish on it. It seems to like the d97 string better, less hand shock and a little quieter. the b55 string stretched a lot so it may settle in and perform better.

B55 in a bow that heavy is definitely gonna stretch.

Looking great Dan! Great shooting also.
I was just thinking about you saying something about wanting to shoot it and finishing the tips later. You may have already done it but if not I highly recommend that you get the phenolic tips on with you shooting the FF string. I use the blue/black bottle of Locktite Gel, quick and does good. Again; you may have done this already.
I want one of these!!

Thanks. Kenny sent phenolic with the bow. I had the limb tips done before I shot it. I’m waiting to put a riser overlay on the handle.

Waiting for finish to dry is torture, I just want to shoot it 😂
