Thanks! I have never shot a bow like this one. A four inch brace height and no (zero) hand shock . Not even any noticeable string vibration. I really just pointed, drew and released. Arrows found their target like heat seeking missles Grin

Now, I have to make a 45lb bow behave like a 20 pounder. May take a long while and cause a lumber shortage Cheesy
