In some time it will get hornnocks and the tips will have to lose weight, because it has a lot of handshock. But till then I will have to close my mouth while shooting it, to prevent my teeth from falling out.

if you hadn't said i would never have known.!

Take some of the mass off the tips or adding a handle can help with the handshock.

Edit: lol- just realised it already has a handle

Very pretty bow.  80# at 32"?  Thats impressive!  With my injuries I'm happy just to be pulling 35# ;D
