400 grains at 26 is hobbling the bow. First because the bow doesnt pull 40@26, rather 38.5, so you are asking it to shoot an arrow over 10gpp. Second, you are under drawing the powerstroke by 2 inches. That bow should be much faster than you are pushing it. Easily 170s. As for the mass, man, i hope you have lots you can remove. I dont know otherwise why ut wouldnt be faster.

I'm still a little gun shy. I'll work my way back up to 28" ;D ;D

What ya going to wrap it with.?

I wrapped it with some upholstery thread I had. It's very strong.

bradsmith2010:
if the bow was starting to take set,, the 26,, should shoot pretty fast,,26 is a good power stroke, I know the bow was pulled to 28,, but not that much,,
I would test it again at the 26 with tip reduction,, ( dont you like it how everybody tells you what they would do ;D) it wont hurt to see,, then if you not getting the speed, and think the limbs are not stressed enough to perform,, take it on out,,
sometimes taking the power stroke on out,, off sets it self with the set it gonna take,, but you never know unless you try,, Im preaching to the choir,, but I just thought since it was taking some set,, you might be as far as you need to go,, and the splinter was talking to you,, but Im superstitous :NN
eithter way you gonna learn something for the next one,, I think its a success already, ,anything you do now is icing on the cake,, :)
that makes me really worred when Sleek is cautious,, (--)

This is very true, but this bow was designed from the start to handle this draw length. If it fails, the wood is to blame on this one.

Seems im making quite the name for myself. Lol, I laughed so hard at that my eyes watered. Thanks for that. No, Im just suggesting basic safety over a bow that has a back problem, with a wood im not familiar with at all. Thats all.
