Did a quick video of me shooting this bow. It shoots very well. Compared to to my 40-45lbs bows of this style this one is quicker which I expected it to be. The 45lb bow I made last year to compare with this one is similar dimensions in fact I used the same string when testing them both today. We have really high humidity as everything is melting at 6 degrees and 80% humidity! Good old Ontario goes from one extreme to the next. As a result my speeds are slower then they would normally be I think. The arrows I was shooting are 400grains. The bow is 39lbs draw at full draw 28”. So pretty close to 10gpp or just over that. The speeds were fairly consistent at around 181fps as seen in short video clip. I also took a side view shot for profile look. I believe the speeds will be faster in less humidity for sure but still very happy with this. The shoot ability is quite good compared to the other bows of this style. Less thump in the hand and smoother shooting. Unstringing the bow and it came right back to prestrung profile. The weight of this bow is very light at 433grams for a bow the is 57”ntn! The other 45lb bow at 548grams same length. I think this accounts for the smoothness improvement and speed increase as there is less mass to move. It was a fun build. My next one will be a little heavier draw then this one although I’d hunt with this bow without issue at all.
Anyway thanks for checking it out stay tuned for the next one…
Enjoy the videos

180fps @ 10gpp ain't half bad....;)
