Galen, it is 1.460(thanks Mark) at fades and 1/2" at tips, I may narrow it a bit more . I agree narrow and deep is quicker....

Yep, it has the superlam in it which includes a tip wedge and a power lam, both 11" from either end at .009 per inch taper but paralleled for a few inches to keep thickness down a bit. You can actually kind of see the end of the tip wedge end.....
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Lol. That's like the big hair from the seventies. (Or so I've been told).
Some hunt to survive; some survive to hunt

I figured Roy would chime in on that, bet he had big hair in the 70s

Roy don't have to worry none about big hair any more  ;)
But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

That speed will work fine in my book.

I think she will do a bit better when finished Mike. If she is quiet and shoots nice and easy, good nuff!!
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Half a beaver is better than nuffin..   :)
Scrubby told me last month I needed a hair cut..

kennym

She did much better with the beaver stripped off. And the masking tape, and unnecessary unfinished tips adding weight
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I am not the visual type. I visualize alot different than most. I am a numbers type.  "Much better" is best described by numbers. So the magic fps number is?  Or is this statement based on just the shooting experience?

She averaged 191 at 28" with a 9 gpp arrow. May be better with an actual tuned arrow instead of just the right weight....

Will check it again when I get one tuned to it.
Stay sharp, Kenny.
