Yet another happy puppy!
Life is good isn't it shewe! Now time to change those 4 inch vanes to blazers. When the boys are done with the ASD use it and see if you can eek just a little more accuracy out of your girlfriend! Does your wife know about this????

Shewe: The "sweet spot" on both of my recurves is w/ the brace height set at an inch and a quarter from where the riser meets the rail, hard to hold that w/ FFF til you get it stretched in. A little trick, while you are just foolin around, you can take a stretched in FFF off and use a bread tie to keep the end loops from turning and have a ready to go spare. I put my new oneson the Emax about a good quarter inch above the higher mark, saves an adjustment or two.

RE: excals are sick
Auctually the advertised speed on the Exocet is 330 fps I am shooting GT laser II from Dan Miller in mine and with the FFF string am shooting in the same area your are 320`s I think that if you are getting within 10 to 15 fps of the advertised speeds you are doing good I have herd of some of the Excals auctually shooting faster than the advertised speeds. not sure what mine would shoot if I were to shoot the standard Excal arrows the ones that weigh 350 grains but bet I would be right at the advertised speed ratings. Excals are definately fast and powerful.. and easy to maintain
