I must say that new bow is a vast improvement over the original. Is there anything saying one couldn’t make that riser more center shot? Like we did with the original model modifying the grip and those God awful limb tips? Enjoy.

The riser is a solid hefty chunk of Dymondwood or micarta that should pose no problem rasping and sanding down past center shot ... dittos for modding the grip as well.

The limb tips on this bamboo version aren't as pronounced as the maple version, but any limb tip of most any bow can be bobbed down for sure ...

That’s the link I followed sort of when I reworked my Montana years ago. I was retired by then, taking wood shop classes at local JC. Took me only a few minutes using the sanding machines we had. Used good old Tru-Oil to seal it again. Lent that bow to a gentleman visiting here for the winter. He liked it so much he bought it. Your new bow is close to being a custom bow IMO. Materials used rival those from a custom bowyer. Enjoy.

The NEW Boo Montana is working pretty well ... or rather, I'm learning to work well with it @ 22yds.  :campfire:

"New"?  Yes, sold the first, a month or so ago bought another, silly me.

42lbs @ my draw length, 28" BloodSport 500 carbons w/200 grain field points, 4.2" burnt feathers.

Nice shooting, Rob. Did you alter the grip-remove the square corners?

Never heard of teflon tape being use as a strike plate. Cool. Cool bow too.

For whatever reason this one has slightly rounded corners that work well with how I grip this bow.  Hockey tape double wrap for a solid grip.

If there's some radius to the sight window then teflon tape makes for a more center shot riser.   On this second Montana I laid down the teflon tape to protect the sight window and used a small piece of Velcro loop as the pressure point.  It works well.
