As for questions about performance, I really can't say. I'm not a hard data kinda guy so all I can say is it feels great. It throws long heavy arrows with ease and hits the target with authority. How that would translate into flight shooting success is well beyond my pay grade. For the scenarios this bow will see I feel I built this young man the best bow I could have... an honest hunting bow that would be durable and hopefully withstand any accidental misuse it was unlucky enough to be subjected to.

Thanks again guys. You all are too kind!

There is no doubt that is a deer killing machine.  He could probably knock a deer out with blunt points on those heavy arrows and a 30" draw  ;D

Thanks guys.

Aaron, the skins have 2 coats of shellac that are partially sanded off. Then the whole thing received 4-6 light coats of the rim sealer.

That it is, but it had excellent early/late wood ratios.
