Trad, I am shooting 70-75 spine poc , 2018 alum, and a gt 3555 with 240 gn  up front. I draw 28.5 and it shoots all of these just fine. My cedars are right at 10gpi with 160 blunts .

Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

Purrrrrrfectly delicious.  

Probably would have never known this about boo except for this educational, inspirational, and highly addictive thread.

I have the same thing comin' my way....now where is that "wringing of hands" icon..   :D

Rob, sorry about that I had ordered a Shedua riser but changed my mind at the last moment.
I really like the string follow, very smooth.
Does everyone shoot a B-50 dacron string? If not
what do you use? Craig has a string shortage problem and i'm open for suggestions. I like the
D97 strings on my Widow lb's but not sure if they will harm the HH's.

hey stan, that's a beauty of a bow, hope mine looks as good.

i use a padded 8 strand endless d'02 string for all my bows.  definitely for the hills, too.

Blueridge -- I asked Craig that question when I was there last month.  He said his bows will do any of the low stretch strings.  But then he said that a bow has a certain number shots in it essentially, and you cut that number in half with low stretch strings in his opinion.  Of course, the majority of people won't wear out their bow regardless of string type or half life.  If you only get 5 million shots instead of 10, will it really matter to a person who won't take into the 7 digits period?

If a selfbow will last years with a FF string, then a laminated glass Hill with a tip wedge should last a couple of lifetimes! I use D97 and D10 on all of mine.
