Default New longbow really smokes! More results!

Ok Chad close your ears. Just got my new Selway Lil Magnum longbow 62" , 57# @ 29" , 5 lam dymondwood riser (cool multicolor), canarywood limbs with bamboo cores, and sheep horn nocks. The canarywood is really cool, with reds and yellows. This bow is downright awesome. I did the following testing tonight for speed. Bow has Dynaflight 97 string, 1 brass nock, no silencers. The arrow shot was an Arrow Dynamic Traditional, 31" , 3 - 5" shield cut Tru Flight feathers. I shot 10 shots with a 125 grain point and 10 shots with a 175 grain point. Arrow weights were 505 and 575 grains respectively. Average speed for the 505 arrows was 203.7 fps (46.5 ft-lbs KE)and for the 555 arrows 198.7 fps(48.7 ft-lbs KE) The bow is super smooth and quite. My digital camera just broke. I' ll post pictures as soon as I can.

The big showdown will be when my new Crusader comes in...Chad any word???
