45@28"
I'll string it up and see how it shots. Be back soon or maybe not depending on if I can make myself stop shooting long enough to come back inside.
Have fun
Great! Let's hear some more feedback.

It's a Maddog Midsize longbow. 60" long and 45@27" which is my draw leangth.
I have to admit after stringing it up it felt like a toy in my hands. It is so light I had concerns about if I would like it or not.
I put an adjustable nocking point on it and went outside. My arrows of choice were my 5/16 birch cut to 28" and a 145 gr on the tip. I felt the spine should match up nicely with this bow.
I started out at 15 yards. After tinkering with the brace height and knocking point I got to the point were I felt good about backing up 5 more yards.
My group was ok but I still needed a few more adjustments since the arrows were showing slightly stiff. Not much just about 3-4 inches to the left.
I made slight adjustments until I was dialed in with this bow and arrow combo. After putting it and myself through some shooting I can tell you this bow is deffinately not a toy.
I came back inside and put the bow on my arrow scale. It showed a featherweight 14 oz. I knew it was light but dang!
I took some photos of the groups as I tinkered but I didn't have the card in the camera. I have no idea where the cord is to connect the camera to the computor so I will have to wait for the wife to get home before I can post them.
I am very inmpressed with this bow and have no doubt I'll be hunting with it very soon. I have a 4 day trip starting tomarrow and you can bet it's going with me.
Thank you Mike :archer:

We still have over a month left in our deer bow season. Got the truck camper loaded up and will be hitting the road in the morning.
The 145 gr was a bit stiff and I could just about work it out with brace height but was still getting a bit of wag in the tail. I bumped the tip weight up to 165 and shot with field tips and broadheads. That arrow combo seems to be about the best. Very happy with the results.
Nice bow and good luck.
