I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak some different woods. I didn't like the finish I was trying something new probably won't ever use it again. I need to make some jigs to just help the process go along. I do like how adjustable everything is with these. I'm starting to like the fishing line rest. I've never, this is the first bow I put them on, figured I'd try that out. I just threw a string together. These limbs are 50 pound limbs and they came out right at 50 pounds. I do have a set of Hoyt limbs that I might try. They're 55 pound limbs but the good thing is you just swap them in and out. The only reason I haven't swapped them is because I don't want to build another string. This bow is right at 60 inches with these limbs and so I'll stop talking so we can go try it.
