    Here she is. My new Air Raid.

    She came in 2 weeks ago, but I have not really had a chance to mess with her. Got some VT all black strings, yokes, and cables. Yesterday (and most days lately) was rainy so I knew my shop "PoorGuy's Archery" would be open as he couldn't be on the bike. We put the new strings and cables on and then decided that she looked better with the brown yokes to blend with the cams.

    On to the chrono.

    64.5ish lbs - 30.5 inch draw
    430 grain Victory VForce flying 294fps.

    I was thrilled. It's very simliar to the 101st that I love. Here's some shots and a short video that I did this morning. Check out how far this thing goes beyond parallel.

    Thanks guys. At day's end I probably put 75 shots through her. I am very happy with how she shoots.

    I will probably get more in with the baby. His window is right near my 30 yard mark.:deer: Come down anytime to shoot her. I will probably have the bow at the river this weekend if you want to swing in for a boat ride.
