Finally got a chance to get her setup.
With a FF string it shot very harsh and I was having trouble fine tuning it.
So I twisted up a B55 and after shooting the string in, I dialed the brace height in and 7" on the dot is best.
It's  shooting these 70-75# Douglas Fur arrows like a lazer beam.
Thanks for coming along with me and my new go to hunting companion.

Just found out that this kill is the very first one for the bowyer that made it.
I knew it was the first kill for the short model, but I was very surprised it was the very first.
He told me he is building his website and asked if he could use the picture to start his Gallery.
Buy the way, he still hasn't named this short model.  :biglaugh:

Just my "late" opinion but do not put snake skins on that bow.  Its too eye popping to cover with a distracting snake skin.

What a gorgeous looking bow...  shoots well also it seems.
