What are the chances of your new bow, and all the new toys for it all arriving to your door on the same day?

[8D]

I'm off to the man cave.........will post up pics in a bit once I have everything dialed in.

Well, first impressions are pretty good. I'm a 30 3/8" AMO measured DL for 3D, and I've got the 30.5" mods on it now. I'm about 1/8 long after I took some twists out of the cables, and the valley is way too shallow right now. Tomorrow I'm headed to adealer that has 30" mods in stock, and I'll add some twists and over-rotate the cam a bit to get my desired DL and a bit more valley, and it should be perfect.

First impressions......the draw cycle has a LOT more area under the curve from static to full draw compared the the Apex I've been shooting, but I knew this going into it. My Apex shoots like a dream, but honestly I just wanted a few more FPS than it had to offer. I expect this Constitution to be roughly 15fps faster than the Apex with nearly the same specs.

Shot a quick game tonight at 10 yards in the basement. 450 - 40x. Not my best game, but not bad considering I only shot about 10 arrows through it before putting up the target, and also considering the DL is still too long till I get the new mods.

Tomorrow I head up to a dealer that has the correct mods, and also has an indoor 3D range with 30 targets. Hopefully they will let me on their press to install the mods and tweak things the way I want it, and then I can follow it up with a 30 target course. I'll post more tomorrow when I have a full 3D game on the bow.

For now........

2007 Constitution 64lbs - 30 3/8" (Thanks Matt!)
New Gibblet strings (Thanks John!)
T.R.U. Ball Axcel 3000 Sight
CR Apex Scope w/ sunshade/.019 Razorfire up-pin
3x Classic Zeiss Lens (one of the few "zeiss" lenses.......)
Brite Site Pro-Tuner/.010 medium width blade
Shrewd Carbon Devibe 30" front rod/7" side rods/Doinker Burley 40 degree 10 down block
Specialty Super Peep

I still have a 8 arrows left from 3D season last year that I'm currently shooting, but I've got some of the coolest/ninja arrows you've ever seen on the way. I'll post those up when I've got them done. [8D]
