Hey guys,
 I've been wanting a custom longbow for a while. Actually "wanting" is an understatement, but like so many other people out there, I'm on a budget. I can't afford 6 or 7 hundred bucks for a new Shrew(really want one) so I'm gonna call Mike at Dryad next week and order a blank. Black glass with the gray actionwood riser. I really like the Windtalker lines and I can shape the handle to suit me. Should I go ahead and fork over the $50.00 for the boo cores? Is 8 fps worth the extra money? Thoughts or input?

I did a Windtalker blank and they make a nice bow. I have several other bows that have "BOO" cores and I think they have a smoother draw than non "BOO". I would go for the Bamboo!!!!! As for the speed I can't say if it's worth it or not,but it will be smooth!

I'm with Ron.  I don't notice much in the speed but I can easily tell the difference in boo and non boo by the smoothness of the draw.  If it were me I'd dig a little deeper and get that $50.
