Don (Dan or whatever it is ),
He's from Kentucky, don't ask those types of questions, he'll be confused for a week.

Good Looking set-up, kind of reminds me of an Allegiance with GOOD Limbs!!!

So the 82nd got bumped???

I like it too. I plan on drawing blood with both of my new bows. The E-500 has a much nicer draw cycle though. I will chrono both of them and see what my speeds are out of both. Arrows sink in my target deep with both of these speed bows.

Nice looking bow but you may want to start putting the release around the grip so you don't forget and accidentally pull the bow back with the release attached.This can cause reall issues.I know because 1 morning before a hunt,I pulled my bow back while I was still half asleep and my strap got cut in 2.[:'(][&:]

It can also cause issues with the cam and make the string jump track.
Thanks bud...but how do I accidentally pull my bow back with the release attached when I need the release to pull the bow back.
I don't know about TFOX or JeffB but I pull my bow back with my fingers sometimes just to make sure everything is rotating smoothly and there are no surprises. I use my fingers because then there is almost no chance of accidental release.

I see. I never do that. I have always attached my release to my limbs on all of my bows. I can't 4get my release that way.

I pull back with my fingers before I leave my house,that is when you could have an issue.I have heard many have had the same issue as I.

Don't ever hand it to someone to check it out with the release on the limb like that.They might pull it back for you.

Yea..lol...I have been lucky for the last 7 years since I took up using a release. Why do some of you guys pull your bows back with your fingers to check out the mechanics? Have you ever discovered something wrong by doing this, and what could possibly be wrong with the cams from the last time you shot it and put it in your case
