--- End quote ---

If he said 140# at 28", and it read 135# or so at 28", it could easily of lost 5 pounds during shooting in, or just read 5# off or something, I wouldn't go and throw his name under the bus over 5#? Heck, bracing the bow a bit low or a bit high can effect a couple pounds on the scale when weighing a bow, I have noticed that at least. Or, maybe he did lie, I don't know why someone would do that though, or what their intention would be? Did you specifically say you wanted a 140# bow? Anyway, that is a crazy bow! I have never heard of fir being used either, cool. How much set did it have? Isn't fir what 2 x 4s are made of half of the time? Was the wood self harvested, or lumber, do you know? What is that conifer that was used as a belly wood, by harvesting the compression wood, where the tree bent and mashed it all together? Was it pine?

fisher2:
the bow that was off was said to be 120# and it came in 15# light

adb:
So, it's 105#? I'd believe that.

toomanyknots:
I thought you said above it measured 135# @ 28"? I must of missed something.

fisher2:
er no.not light the bow i got from ebay before is marked 122# but its really 135# this fir bow he hasnt responded since i asked for scale pictures
