Congrats, been looking at those too... Need something to go along with my Curlew, and Chinook..... I can't call Dan just to say Hi, often , it invariably costs me too much in The end  

[TxAg]

Should have hit the mail today. I expect I'll get it   Tuesday or Wednesday with it being a holiday weekend.

Very nice.  Dan does a great job.  Now let us know what you think after a few shots.

It's crazy smooth. Can't get over it.

I gota figure out the right brace and arrow combot to get her totally quiet. Have a small "umph" right now. I'm not worried about that, though.

I tried shooting a 545gr arrow and a 565gr arrow and was impressed with the speed. Quite a bit quicker than my Whip.

Hand shock is zero.

I've been shooting all afternoon. If any of you guys have arrow recommendations or brace/nock recommendations, I'm all ears.

My arrows are showing a bit weak. They are kicking up and to the left. I've adjusted the nock point all the way down to 3/8" and the brace down to 7 1/8". I even tried going down to a 100 gr head (have 75 gr inserts and 20 gr aluminum footings).  This all seemed to help, but not enough.

I tried building the strike plate out a bit, but it seemed worse.

Total arrow make up is Beman MFX 500 cut to 30.5" with 75 gr insert and 1.5" 20 gr aluminum footing.  3 shield cut 5" (or 5.5") feathers and a 5 gr aluminum nock footing.

Any ideas?

[Rick Richard]

I have mine at 7 3/8 and shoot wood.  Very little noise at all.  It is as quiet as my Whip HS.

[TxAg]

Rick,  What spine rating are your wood arrows?

I think it'll take me going stiffer. Thoughts?

[Rick Richard]

50 pounds at 26 inches shooting 45 - 50 pound woodies at 28 inches with 125 grains up front.

Jeff, Dan sent me a Lynx Combo to shoot for a couple of months a year ago, the recurve limbs made a 50 lb. bow at my 29" draw. It wanted very heavily spined arrows, I ended up with Beman MFX 400s 29 3/4" throat of nock to back of point, 100 grain brass insert plus a 50 grain brass insert and a 125 grain field point. As such they were just barely stiff enough. The bow was very fast and very, very quiet.

[Jim Wright]

I forgot to mention brace height was 7 1/8" and nock height was 7/16". Did I say it was quiet?

[Elkchaser]

Jeff,
That is a fantastic looking bow!    

My 58" Lynx is 51# @ 28" which is what I draw.
I shoot MFX 500 Classics cut to 29 3/8" valley to back of point.
I have the 75 grain inserts and 150 grain head.
7 1/8 to 7 1/4 brace height. Nock at 1/2".
Fly beautifully.

Again, very nice bow. Love the woods!

Jeff:

WooHoo!!!  Man, what a beauty.  Dan is an artist fo sure.

[Biathlonman]

Really making me want to call Dan and tell him to make me another set of limbs with that Zebrawood!  If i could decide what poundage i wanted i would.  

Might give a SBD string a try, made mine noticably quieter.  I'm not a huge fan of Dan's strings though he makes one hell of a bow!
