I am pretty sure I know why the one-piece is faster than the td--it has yew limbs, the td has osage limbs. Yew, in my opinion anyway, is as good as it gets for limbs. I' d like to hear how it compares when you get to the shop again.

You don' t know how hard it was to part with that one--the folks at the post office couldn' t understand why I was crying and they had to pry the tube from my hands![:' (][:' (] Guess it' s a good thing I didn' t shoot it! I do plan on getting one like that for myself, or one with a Macassar ebony riser and limb veneer--or both!
