No sir, that's about number 30-40. Not sure, I'd have to check my books.
Best advice I can give is to watch Big Jim's videos on the process! He explains everything in depth on each step. You can also buy any materials needed directly from him!
That's where I started.
Very nice ! Looks deadly and business-like.
If I didn't put a quiver of bright arrows on it it would be lost in a day , I need to try one of your bows have heard nothing but good....

Thanks Critter >>>>-----> Ken
Can't see it lol. J/k looks great!
Just got it in today. My USPS driver said he can't get out of his vehicle to bring it to the house. Glad I was in the driveway.
I carefully un boxed it. Took it out a shot a couple of twelve yard groups. Stepping back to seventeen yielded this group.
These are the same arrows for my Tall Tines recurve which so happens to have the same draw weight and center cut.
So I figured why not try broadheads? The hit the same too! I'm pumped.
Great bow Randy!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181108/2f3d0bdfcd17202f8d72d9aebfb548ca.jpg)

Nice....
Looking good Gary!!! Keep it up and it won't be long till you get some blood on it!!
i've been thinkin about getting a set of longbow limbs camo dipped,probably the dcs-atacs pattern
Well I finally got a weekend to hit the lease and it has been slow. Slow by our standards anyhow. Which I guess I'm pretty spoiled. Only one 1.5 year old buck this morning and this evening a couple of young but promising deer. Then about 5:45 three deer filtered in. A 3yo nine, a 2yo 8 and about 5:55 a doe that appeared to be about 3.5. I made up my mind to take a shot of she offered it but with light fading she was still about 16 yards out and I was wondering if I could pick a spot should she ever get to the hand corn at 12 yards. The young 8 had his nose in it and she didn't seem inclined to move him. I had just about concluded this would be a long sit in the dark as they had a lot of feed to suck down when the 9pt threw his head up. Then the 8 then the doe. Normally that signals incoming pigs. Then they bolted. Sure enough here comes an 80 poundish black boar. He settles in the far side of the feeder as a sow about the same size follows him in and starts to feed over there as well. I'm sitting with my new Primaltech in hand, arrow knocked and anxious as all get out to get my first kill with it but light is fading fast and those two are stuck out at 20 yards.
Then here comes the calvary in the form of a sounder of small pigs and piglets.
Football sized pigs run in, surround the feeder and the main sow pushes the first two that came in my direction . . .
Another minute or three and the first sow is on the hand corn quartering to me. Little piglets and 20 pounders are milling around like crazy. One larger, but very run down, sow is constantly growling.
I glance away to try to find the first boar that came in, off to my right at about 17 yards, and when I look back the fat little sow had turned broad side and I drew . . .
I had taken 3 quick shots before I left camp and they were right in there at 14 yards so I was pretty confident in my hold . . . Although to dark too see a spot I saw one in my mind.
Then the string slipped away and the arrow thumped the pig . . .
Pigs exploded everywhere and I tried to watch as the one I thought I shot ran but it was a confusing, crisscrossing mass of swine.
Then silence. I packed up and walked out toward the feeder and the arrow, soaked in blood, lay there. Blood right there and some 10 yards away but the only light I had was my cell phone so I went to the cart and back to camp. I got some light and my lab. She has done okay for me locating pigs but hasn't been on a track in 2 seasons so I didn't know however she made quick work of the 50 yard track and needless to say I was glad to have baptized my new bow in blood.
Shot was a fade high but took out both lungs. I really like how this bow shoots for me and it's pretty quiet.

:clapper: :thumbsup: you'll have fun with that one, just don't lay it down.
You did a really good job on that camo work. From the looks of that target picture, it shoots good, too.
Good write up Gary. And congrats on first blood and many more to follow!!
Believe me Randy, it's gonna run like a river.[emoji41]

Awesome! That's the perfect way to break in a new bow. Congrats!
Made a good double long shot on a doe Sunday evening. Had to adjust position in the big Mike's blind to get off the shot. The bow just shoots where I look. She never moved until the arrow passed all the way through her. Only around a14 yard shot. About 80 yards on the recovery.
I really like this bow.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181218/a08bab3e68d5d658f70b0e583c2e10bc.jpg)
