Hey Strutter, didnt you post this over at the other site and it got yanked? What ever happened to that thread LOL!

Both of my crusaders have yew limbs, both are the td's with the phenolics in the riser so I cant help ya there. My older one is a smooth drawing bow where the new one, 4lbs difference, feels a little stouter, I havent been able to hit the range yet to visually see the difference in the two though. Also I took a string from my older crusader and tried to put it on the new one..man what a difference!!! So much for being able to have 2 bows on a hunt and only needing a couple strings for backup! Cant wait to see how my arras for the old bow flies out of the new one also! both of my bows look great, I like the looks of the newer bow as the yew is definatly more figured and the clear glass is much clearer then on the old one. The older one has some neat red stripes in the phenolics though. The new bow has a red lamb sandwiched in the limbs, cant figure out what that is other then maybe a stained lam (lost track of what wood I thought it was LOL). I do have a robertson with elm limbs, it looks nice. It has a wider grain then the yew on my newer crusader has both are purdy though! I dont think you will have a problem between the woods and shooting difference!!
