Yeah I'm shooting through a triangle opening, messes with depth perception pretty certain. There were so many pigs. I never got a chance to get out of the blind to even go look for the one I hit and he was long gone by the time it was dark and we were done. We did not find an illuminated arrow anywhere so wherever he ran off to that arrow did not come out I'm pretty sure he had about six or 7 inches of arrow stuck in him as well plus the broad head length hard to say if I hit the lungs or the liver.

That solarez got like liquid gold in it  I agree Krystal may not be as durable as Tbird or that automotive stuff but it's way cheaper. Been using it for years. Not too many complaints either, I am thinking of getting some gloss for base coats then using dull over that.

Let's say you built two identical bows same design same stack except one has veneers so two more lams. The one with veneers will have more springboks out of the form. So how much more poundage will it have. Just did it and about 4 lbs different??

I think the "-70" and "-71" suffix of their serial numbers might be the build year.  The preceding number might be the day of the year.

Again, fabulous "olde tyme" recurve target bows ... lotta good history there.

  well....I guess you live and you learn because I certainly did not know that. Hope my victim doesn't mind too much, and here I thought I was being smart!

Need to get there sometime,one of the good ones I have not made it to

Best I can figure it had been between 2 and 3 years since I have shot a field point.Stump shoot with Judos for practice,blunts for small game and Zwickeys for deer.Shot a 3d course Saturday and enjoyed myself at OJAM

That is a lot of hogs! So did you get him or not?

Rob,
Thanks very much for all of that information. I appreciate your expertise. 
The bow that has the stabilizing weights is labeled...
FS-18-70
68" 31#

The bowl that has the darker color
is labeled...
FL-66-71
64" 28# 026?  (A little difficult to make that one out)

The third bow says..
FL-237-70
68"-36#.

Thanks for the tip on the bow strings.
