I just finished the second version of &quot;Frankenstein.&quot;<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The bow has a Golden Eagle Natural Series riser, Oregon Black Knight cams, and Alpine #4 split limbs (camo ones this time).

I just got the #4 limbs to replace the #5's that I started with. The bow is 36&quot; a to a with a 6 1/4&quot; brace height. It is very fast, but I need to get to a pro shop with a chronograph to see how fast. It peaks at 62# and has a 30&quot; draw. I have had a little trouble getting it tuned as well as I would like, but really haven't spent too much time at it yet.

The bow is very quiet, and has less recoil than any two cam bow I have shot despite all of the energy storage. The cams are much smoother than I would have thought, and have a good wall, but lacking other modules, I have to stick with the brace height that I have to get the draw length that I need.

This bow reminds me of the Darton Maverick that I had, but is quieter and has a little bit less recoil. I think it is a little faster too. The only thing I am not too sure about is the Natural Series riser. It seems easy to torque. On the other hand, I have not hit my wrist with the string yet, despite the relatively low brace. The string would occasionally vibrate against my wrist with my Mathews MQ1, even though it had a much higher (7 1/2&quot brace height.

Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!
