I would like to make a longbow someday. Any way I pulled the trigger today, ordered my Z7 should take a couple of weeks they said.

I also shot a Reezen, and an Alphamax.

If a high end bow is in your site then checkout Archery Talk forum's classified.. many of them guru's change bows every year. I know guys get smokin deals, all kinda goodies in they're classified.
I'm due for a knew Bow. I've always liked Matthews. Gonna put my PSE up for sale here soon.

I dunno, my AM32 was cheaper than my Van Staal.

I hear you on the wife thing, that's why working men invented tucksies to hide some cash, and cell phones so they don't call you at home to let you know the new bow came in .

A Quad Angle site, and a Vital gear Kazaway rest. The rest is pretty slick it is a full containment drop away.

Gonna try a bunch of different stabilizers, and the arrows I already have are supposed to be spined enough Using Carbon Force Radial X weaves for now.

If I was in MA I'd let you play with some of my toys.

That said, get a B-Stinger. 10.25" 11oz.
You'll be amazed how well you hold X's and Vitals.

What spine are your CF's?

Gimme full specs (draw weight/draw length) and I'll run OT2 on your bow if ya want, just gimme a list of arrows you'd want to use

Just put an Axcel Armortech HD Pro on my Alphamax. Love it to death. Great bright pins and easy to set.
Running a ripcord for now but think I'm gonna try the Vaportrail Limbdriver for a rest.

I actually like the ICS Camo hunters.
I've put one through a fence, through a root and its still intact and straight.

Beman ICS Camo Hunters 400 spine 28.5 in length 100g tip should put you around 410-415g
(My 27's with 2" fusions, vibrake inserts and 100g field tips are 405)
