Congrats Kenny and yes that's a great lookin stick!

UPDATE:
Mind you results vary; I'm not Byron Ferguson, and my 'tests' can go on for a month until I'm sure the results are working in my sweet spot, this is currently working and going in my quiver...

B55 - My 29.75" 500's shot 250 point weight with 4" trad vanes/wrap
                           300 point weight with 5" feathers/wrap

D97 - Same arrows          200                   4" vane/wrap
                           230                   4" feathers/wrap

I love FOC, but the 200, (long 50 insert + Magnus 150gr single bevel serrated), got the most center of bulls-eyes. The 230gr, (long 50gr + 180gr No-Mercy) nearly as good. For me D97 wins this round.  But as Mr mbugland points out; they're all tools-in-the-box.  I actually would rather be right in the middle of both, lol.  Next year can play with the long 50gr insert and make it longer/get back over 20% foc, and keep 170 fps.

Great work Mike

Great looking quiver 

That's nice!  Looks like it would work great too. 

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, Mike, and congratulations.

Merry Christmas to all and praying for God's blessings in the New Year.

Its Buffs first post here,,, all good buff we've all done it.....  if you have any questions just post em.

Congrats on a nice doe Kenny! The bow looks great.

Sorry, no experience here with the 66, but I have a 64" and 29 inch draw length. It's super smooth and stable and my favorite bow I've ever had.  I'm sure Dan will give you the best advice anyone can provide. 

Does anyone remember if the models were Commanche and kiowa?    and the recommended brace heights (or what is yours at) and were they b50/55 only?
