    Ya, just a slight one:busted:

    I agree with ya on the efficiency thing. I like having the option to turn it up. For hunting, I have found a nice "middle ground" at 63 lbs.

    I just finished looking through all my pictures and can't find any of my setup. I will have to take some new ones so I can post them. But my setup is in my signature!

    Christine, great looking bow but how do you shoot it with everything on the wrong side?
