Mike lets see some pic's of your bow! I just checked your site out and one of your quivers is definetly on my list

So, as an update (I won't keep it up, but the second day of shooting is always worth note). I redid the arrow calculator as I originally mis-input the center cut for the vixen at 0. With the correct input it came out being perfect IF I had 145 out front instead of the 125. I already have a small box of a couple goodies in the mail from 3 rivers (to include a single broadhead shealth to go on the front of the bow for stalking) and didn't need to get the wife in a tissy over new tips. So, I grabbed some small sinkers out of my tacklebox and hot melted them in. Through research (a grain scale is on the short list), I found they're around 13-15 grains each. They actually did the trick to my surprise as my ideas seldom do, haha. Man, what a sweet shooting bow. I did some stumping at work in between firing at the range (had a 3 hour break) and im still shocked with every shot. The sound is just non-existent and the draw is feeling better and better. I picked up Hills Hunting the Hard Way, I actually had it already but didn't read it with he eyes of being a ASL bow owner. I'm even getting the stringing method down. This bow may have just ruined me for other types of bows its just that fun to shoot.

Well, found a better test-fix than sinkers. #4 shotgun shell pellets are 20 grains each. I've got some actual 145 heads in the mail but it gave me a good test weight. Also, with a new (to me) bow I also decided to replace my old glove. Did not realize the cardovan neet traditional glove with the thing style finger straps was so stiff! Soaked it in water over night then shot with it for a while, then worked some hone oil into it and I can finally start to at least feel the string. My other bows continue to sit unstrung. Im already day dreaming of a stable
of ASL bows. Taking the Vixen to the woods monday morning but i'll have to keep my shots below  18 yards as currently that is my limit of comfort. Another couple of weeks and I should be at my usual 20-25 yard bubble.

Was blessed yesterday evening with the opportunity to take a deer, my first with an ASL (Howard Hill) style longbow.   66" Northern Mist Sheldon, 57# @ 25", 70-75# Surewood shaft w/145gr Grizzly Broadhead.
