Default 82# Old Glory - SMOOTH & POWERFUL

Worked on my Old Glory tonight and got it up to 82# with as much KE; and, it pulls smooth as silk. No, you can't buy this rig from the factory - it's a 'home brew'.

It's actually good exercise for me, since I shoot it both left and right-handed. It keeps me in shape for just about anything that comes into the shop. After all, at 62 years of age and having to tune bows up to 100#, keeping in shape is a necessity.

The smoothness of the draw cycle and how it transitions into the wall is my favorite part of this new cam system. I'm going to shoot my 525 grain hunting arrow today to see how much more the KE rises.
