RE: Black widow spine formula
Well, sorry I came off so strong, there was no need for that. Guess I've become "oversensitized" to widow bashing. <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> Hehehe. Jason, whew-wee! That gorilla draw really eeks out the performance from recurve limbs doesn't it! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I've done a little testing w/my 51# @ 30" SA & my 60# @ 30" HunterII & didn't get nearly those speeds. But I was using a much heavier arrow (same one for both bows, a 72# tapered cedar) & a shorter 30" draw. The CM shot 3 fps faster (179 vs 182 fps) on average. Not nearly as scientific a test as yours, but sure told me what I suspected after previously shooting the CM a few times. Y'all are right; either will do the trick & no one bow is for everyone that's for sure. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
