Not tuned yet?  

You may need a bigger stimulus package of arrows if you tune it any better.   :eek:

I'd say if it's not tuned yet, you better not.

Don't mess with success

Andrew for now it is a no brand. there have only been 4 built to date each with a slightly different riser configuration and different poundage from a high of 65@28 to mine which is 49@28.

Are these Gold Tip Shafts?
I had done three Robin Hoods on Gold Tips this year and about the same amount last year, whilst I had only ruined Beman MFX in that time...

(that is shooting in my cellar at about 8 meters)

Metsastaja:

That is one beautiful bow.  I have to say the profile of that bow looks very familiar to me.  Hey wait a minute...  

I built that bow!

Les I am glad you like it and I hope that you find you have to start aiming at different spots cause you are breaking to many arrows.

Shoot straight and true my friend.

So now the truth is out.  My little brother built it and few of us are testing em.
I shot it some more today from out at 19 yard mark and I have to say I will no longer use a single spot and I have only had the bow for a day and have been shooting trad less then a year.  Must be something about the nanotechnology he has built into the riser cause I know its not the shooter.

Bow is 49@28
Chrono tested Using CE250's cut to 30 and 301/2" with 225g upfront consistent 167-168 fps.
