I broke a couple records with the dark bow. The other is as close as I could get to it. I did get the limbs on the new bow as rectangular as possible for the engineer to run in the computer. Both 67” ntn . The new one was 1/8 narrower at the fades everything else same on width. The old bow 26.2 oz. the new one 26.8 oz. both 48@28 # the new one did not flight test as well. Both had the same type growth rings . The new one has real flat back and belly . The old one a bit of crown in the back mainly at fades.
I haven’t tried my best arrow  in it but probably 15-20 yds short of the broken record bow. Now to see what the computer model will look like. I will send off the measurements and a wood sample to see what comes from it. I measured the sides and finger calipers on thickness. Here are some pics.

Love it Arvin...keep up the flight fight.  It is aggravating when things are almost exactly alike and yet still different.   :OK

Yup... that's the nature of wood and stuff.
Years ago we had a radar display that had so many different versions of the various circuit boards that we coined the saying:-
"They're all interchangeable except where they differ" :)
