The combo is a Golden Eagle Natural Series riser, which BTW, I measured @ 5/8" of reflex. It does have the angle grip, but I removed the rubber grip and am planning to make one out of laminated walnut. Shooting bare riser right now.

When I first posted about this, it was in January, I think. I then had Alpine #5 split limbs on the bow, but have since acquired Alpine camo #4 limbs. I shimmed them so that there is virtually no gap with the limb pockets at all.

The cams are supposed to be from an Oregon Black Knight. They sure look like the right ones, although they don' t seem to draw nearly as harsh as I would have expected. I think part of the explanation for that is that I had to put them into a position where I could get the right draw length for me. I am guessing that these cams would yield a much more aggressive draw curve if I had 1" shorter cables on the bow, but then the draw length would be too long for me. I will go with the setup as is until I can get or make new modules that are right for my draw length with the more forward rotated cams. At any rate, the draw is aggressive, but smooth. It is similar to a Hoyt Cam.5 or Darton CPS IMO.

I was a bit dissapointed in the speed until I really started to think about it. The bow will peak at 66# with the limbs bottomed. I was shooting it @60 exactly on Saturday. The other arrows were a little better for kinetic energy. A 407 gr. @263 and a 507 @240. The latter was good for 64+ ft. lbs out of a 60# bow. It is about 5 fps faster than my 61# Darton Maverick was, and that bow was totally bottomed out. It is also much quieter and has less recoil than the Maverick had. If my shoulder continues to get better from the tendonitis that I have had, I think that I could shoot it @ 65#, and it should really rip an arrow at that weight. It is also the only bow I have owned that can hang with my Darton Vipers accuracy wise. This just started as a " see what I can do" project. I am very pleased with the way it has turned out.

And Frank, that little bit of upward kick that you noticed is there with just the Stealth on it. If I put my shortie version of the Enhancer 2000 (that I got from Bruce) on the end of the Stealth, it sits prettly still in the hand. Especially for a non- parallel limb/VFT and 2 cam setup! It looks a little goofy sitting on the end of a very good stabilizer, but It probably would make it shoot a little better, although the bow shoots pretty decent without any stabilizer on it.
