Chad - You're weird though, I mean, look at the hats you wear hunting, and 85# longbows .......... its no surprise that you don't like the smooth, silk draw and release that a 3 piece TD longbow gives

Seriously, are you going to shoot woods at the buffalo ? Ever consider those old Graphlex / glass shafts ? You could put a wood inside those and I bet have NO problems getting to 1000 grains - not to mention how tough they are !

BTW, I found a 3 piece TD Adcock in cocobolo, about 9-10 pounds heavier than the bow I currently have .... a perfect match ! Merry Christmas to ME !
