Stic's bow made it to me safe and sound. Had a busy day so didn't get to play with it much or get pics. I did string it and draw it. Has a nice draw cycle, can't wait to shoot it some. I'll try to get pic's and shoot it tomorrow

Glad to hear it got there unharmed.

Very nice Jon and Kenny.

I shot a couple of arrows out of Stic's bow. It's very pleasant to shoot. I didn't get time to mess with it much. I'll get more pics and shoot it more later. Thank you much Mike, seems to be a sweet shooter. Totally different draw cycle than my recurves but it feels great at my draw.

Love those veneers Jon!!

Travis, that looks like it has some draw left, you have like a 31" draw, right?

4 point · March 26, 2023, 07:59:42 AM

Yeah Kenny, right around 31". The arrow is a full length 55/75 gold tip. I don't feel any sign of sharp poundage gain. I'd guess it could go a little more. My 61" is getting to its limits at my draw.

Crooked Stic · March 26, 2023, 09:02:02 AM

That looks pretty good at your draw. How you mean a different draw cycle?
If you notice the limb has no forward taper. That may have an effect on the draw. And I think the straight tapered wedges are also working some to smooth things a bit.
I am thinking of using .001 with the Kenny superman and get the tips working a bit more for shorter draws.

Stic, you nailed it for his draw. Well engineered.
