I hear ya, I just got back the first bow I ever had a 70# 1952 kodiak and Wow that thing is "shocking"! pun intended.LOL She aint pretty but its a long story behind this bow. My dad sold it to a buddy when I went into the Navy; who took it to alaska and killed a Kodiak bear with it. and My dad got it back After I gave him a ton of crap about it and gave it to me. I got a string on it and man she shoots good but you want to talk shock WOW
