I bought the 55# bow and it was in perfect knick and shoots nicely.

Re: New Bow

Beautiful.

Congrats. What is she braced at? I find a slight hight brace (at around 8') on my 60" BBD shoots very sweetly.

Re: What bow are you hoping or planning for?

I was also looking at Border Hex5 ILF limbs the other day. They would be an extravagance, perhaps even more so would be a Border Griffin GL longbow, modern materials (carbon limbs) in a traditional looking longbow.

Cool looking bow.

I've always wanted a widow - the PCH in particular.
How hard wearing are those "film dips"? I have a pair of old Marine Gerber bino's (in bright yellow rubber) that I would like to dip.

I know of a longbow (and occasional compound) hunter down at Wollongong called Serge.
Good bloke and very interesting character.

10 twists up on my 60" Border Black Douglas = 1cm brace height increase
