Boo/Maple/Osage, 140 @ 32 so far
Badger:
I did a bow mass calculation and came up with between 1100 and 1200 grams, because of the semi stiff mid section and elyptical tiller I allwed for about 10" stiff handle. I love the tiller shape, I bet that bow has some good distance in it.

Ya it's a pretty heavy bow, 1 3/8" wide by 1 1/4" thick in center (mike gave me the suggestion on dimensions and they were spot on, so cudos). Thank you Steve, and thank you for doing the mass theory calculation, I still haven't taken the time and figured out how to do that yet, as embarrassing as that is to admit. :)
Cameroo:
Damn, that's a nice one.
Can you yank it back all the way? ;)

Hmmm. The mass theory is still a bit of a mystery to me as well. I'm just starting to realise its potential for performance.
I did a 120# maple backed yew warbow this summer. 78" ntn, 120#@32". It weighs 773 grams. Less than 1" of set. So, according to the mass theory, is it underbuilt? This bow's performance is amazing (not me shooting it). It has cast a 1/4# (114 gram) arrow 198 yards. Livery arrows (63 grams) 240 yards.
