It's good to get aquainted
Don't forget about your brace height. You new weapon has a sweet spot that only you can find and once you do she's really gonna get sweet. Meaning by adjusting your bows brace height up or down by twisting or untwisting the string you find the place where she is the quietest, fastest, smoothest and most stable. If the bow isn't already equipped with a dynaflight97 string, pick a couple up. I prefer the flemish twist design and some prefer the endless loop but whichever way you go you won't regret dyna97. Best string material on the market in my opinion.
Anyway, once your string stretches in, you can finalize locating the correct brace height and it won't move from there. If you decide to add silencers, start by measureing the string from where it contacts the bow to the same spot on the other limb. Divide it into quarters or thirds and place your silencer on each quarter mark nearest the limb or on the third mark nearest the limb. The reason for the two different locations is that one takes out the high pitched modulations and the other the lower pitched modulations and you will find which one your bow produces and which location will hush it the best. You're already shooting, so you must have gotten you nock point located. But just in case, I started mine at 3/8" and that seems to work well for me. You can finalize up and down and arrow spine when you either bare shaft or paper tune the bow. I think you made the right choice going with Byrons book. From what I've read of Asbels, it isn't bad either. Have fun. You've started a journey that is one of the best lifestyles anyone could ever hope to choose. BTW, what excuse you gonna use for your next bow? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
