Got my Ross 337...**review and pics**

Waited for the UPS man today, and he got here at about 1:30. Got the box from him, opened it up and there she was, my 337. After getting her out I realized what a Beauty she really was. I looked her over really well and could only notice a few nicks here and there. Then I went to the string and I saw a fray, I said well, might not be that bad. I threw the Copper John sight on it, wrist sling, scoil and headed to the shop. I get there and they begin putting on the string loop, then they noticed the spot in the string, we put it on the press and checked it out. He said it was 3 or 4 strand and I needed to replace the string because the idiot who had it before me and put glue directly on the string for his peep!

. I said just put something inexpensive on it for now. We ended up putting a Stone Mountain string on it for $25, which I only had to pay about $15, so no biggie.

Originally he said that he got a 28" mod for it. Nope, once again, the guy screwed up and sent me another 29" mod. 2 RS5 mods. So I'm shooting it at 29" and I'm shooting good and it doesn't feel that bad at all. That PSE string I was shooting at 29" must have been severely stretched but as you can see in the pic below the draw looks pretty OK on me.

I equipped here with a CJ Dead Nutz Pro sight, TT Pronghorn rest and S-Coil. I decided to go with the Gold Tip XT Hunters, cut to 28". I also FINALLY upgraded my release to a Scott Little Goose Deluxe with the knarled trigger. I LOVE it. I also bought a Morrell Bag target.

Now down to the shooting, I left the poundage low so I could shoot more, I'm shooting 29" draw, 62lbs, and it shot my GT XT hunter 262 fps. Not too shabby. I coudn't get over just how quiet and shock free this bow is. I just couldn't get tired of shooting it. It truly is a dream to draw and shoot.

As far as the Stone Mountain strings go, after we cut off the foot of serving they put on their strings, reserved it, set the peep, and I still haven't had any rotation issues and I probably shot atleast 100 arrows today. The bow called for a 101 1/8" string, so we put a 101" string on it. Accounting for the inevidable string stretch. After doing that we got the cam orientation fixed perfect. I'm shooting bullets. Already busted a knock off

. I would absolutely LOVE to put a single pin slider on this bow. I'm already getting annoyed with pin crowding and I'm only shooting 262fps.

OVERALLY GREAT BOW!
