RE: Missed.......
Well A few updates.............
I called Jake up at Martin and had him send me different limbs. The original limbs just felt like too much for me and I had to take 4x full turns out of them to get them to where I felt comfortable.I hate taking this many turns out of limbs especially for a bow that will be shot out to 90 meters so I had a set of limbs sent to me that top out at 52lbs. The bow has been setup with these since last week Thurs and it feels great and I don't fatigue as much when shooting for extended periods. Even at 52lbs, I should still get the speed I need forFITA to make 90 meters out ofthe GT UL Pro 400's I plan to use.
Today my string/cables also came in from John (Gibblet). I have to shoot my local vegas league tonight but when I am done with that I will get theseinstalled and then try to put a few shots on them so they settle. Once these have settled and I can retime the bow I will tweak DL a bit to get things perfect and creep tune the bow so my timid shots still hit the X..............then it should be in it's final state of tune.Next week this time it should be all done and I can't wait to stop thinking about tuning and just about shooting.
I will post pics tonight of the new string/cable setup, the colors are just a bit flashy...........my hope is that the other shooters on the line at league night will be blinded by the string/cable colors and then I win by default. [8D]

RE: Missed.......
I can say after tonights tuning session the bow is finally where it needs to be. The new string/cables from gibblet are all settled, the stabilizers are perfect, the DL is perfect for vegas face targets...........just time to shoot it now.
Here are final pics with the new strings and final stabilizer setup.
