I hate to break it to you 4 yr guys and gotta wonder how a fella gets his bow after "nearly 4 yrs" when in Jan coming up it'll be 5 yrs for me.As for having him get back ahold of you LOL I think I'll just keep my mouth shut.

Congrads on your new toy!!Hope you get many yrs of fun out of her

Swampbuck,  I only got mine because he missed the mark for another guy.  I was on the list for ANY heavy bow he happened to make that was 70 or more pounds.  I was willing to take about anything that he felt would draw well at 28".  I actually didn't know I drew almost 30".  I should have went with the 66" vs the 62" but I took what I could get.  Also the fact that he doesn't make them heavier then 60 or so pounds, I didn't have many options.  Besides, if I would have said no, I might have waited indefinitely.  I'm sorry to hear that he hasn't contacted you, but I guess you have to deal with that when it comes from one guy, completely custom, and not a big company that has multiple people to work on it.  He has had some family troubles over the last few years and has really slowed down his pace.

Foudarme, nice!  The one thing I noticed about the Tribute is that you really start to loose efficiency and energy after about 10 grains per pound draw.  The 1001 grain arrow I shoot flies over 240fps, producing 128lbs of energy, while the 1200 only put out 118 (don't remember the speed, like 220 maybe).  I know with other bows, they might like the heavier weight (ratio).  The Oneida's, which look and shoot very much like a traditional bow, like the added weight, as well as the Mathews Black Max I use to shoot.  I think brace height has a great deal to do with it.  I'm going to try out those Grizzly Sticks when they are finished, and I'll let you know how they work out.  And if you went any heavier, you might just want to throw a spear next time, it would be faster.

Good luck! I actually had a missed wieght bow that I had to send back not missed for me mind you but anyway I know that happens sometimes.Congrads again and enjoy your new toy

is your bow not staking at your draw length? I have a 62", 64#@28 A&H ACS and I find she really starts stacking when I draw her at 29"...

Extremist....
Why 4 5.5 feathers....With 4 feathers why did'nt you go to 4"....
Just curious....

Actually, I got to pick up my arrows today and they made the mistake of only putting on three feathers.  No big deal.  They fly well and look good.  I wanted the 4 fletch because I was affraid of getting proper flight with either the 285 grain points I shoot from my compound and the rather large broadheads I shoot.  In hindsite, it wouldn't have made much difference except slow it down .  My next set mite have parabolics anyway, so who knows.

foudarme, I put a few more twists on the string today, bringing the BH to 7.25", and got to do some shooting.  I think it does start to stack around 28-29 inches.  Like I said before, I really didn't have a lot of previous experience with a properly fitted bow so I didn't really know what stacking was.  I always thought it was just the bow building weight.
