Not that anyone cares but I love setting up and tuneing hunting bows .
Here is the probale 20 year old 560 I picked up off Mike when I dropped off a bow I had lightened a few months ago. He refinished the bow so it looks like brand new
Like I said I love tuning up bows and setting them up to hunt making them as quiet and fast as I can with perfect arrow flight.
Started out bare fletch tuning and settled on a 340 spine ICS Carbon cut to 28 1/4 at nock point. !00 grain insert and 125 grain head. Toyal arrow weight 530 grains
Added a Big Jim strap on quiver in dark brown
a set of limb savers
and some fur silencers
tip protector on nottum limb
All speed testing was done with all equipement on bow
3 shots averaged normal release not over drawn draw length somewhere around 26 1/2 to 27 inches about 60 ponuds at my draw
speed ony deviated 1 fps so release was consistant
Here ya go I am real pleased with this setup for a 20 year old bow with all this stuff on it

Shoot, I care! I love hearing this kind of stuff. Looks like a real killing/shooting machine to me. I just did a great setup on a new to me Martin Vision. Cannot tell you how fast she is but, fast enough for me.
Beautiful looking bow, congratulations on it!
thanks my friend
I should of chronoed it with out all the stuff but I only care about field performance :)
it is a pretty bow here it is before it was set up

It is a beauty of a bow. I for one love the looks of darker risers and veneers. That one has a wonderful blend to it. :thumbsup:
Thats a very nice setup, fedoras are on my short list of bows to try
It is a nice looking bow and pretty rapid too.
Mike seems to know how to make a good bow. A 560 is on my wish list. By your signature I see you are fond of 'em.
Nice. Real nice.
JParanee, Great looking 560 and a real shooter. Really like the woods on her, do you know what they are. Thanks Don
My first custom bow came from Mike,wish I still had it.
Awesome!!
I wish I loved tuning. To me it is such a headache because I over think it so much. I just want to go out and shoot! Guess maybe it's cuz I am still so young...

Well bsoper
I'm in the same boat as you are so what can I blame my not wanting on? Old age maybe....lol
I almost forgot to mention that when I originally opened this thread I fully expected to see one of my favorite things to wear...lol
Man! I just love hats!!!
All kinds of hats.
I'm not sure that what I suffer from couldn't be consider a lower level fetish for them...lol
I also love caps and have a bunch of those I wear also but there's not a cap out there that can stand up to a good hat.(IMHO)
God bless, Mudd
PS: I guess you and I will just keep fling arrows and having fun doing it...lol
