Nice set up thats the bow and arrows I'm running. I knew me and the head guy here had a lot in common!

Well when do I get to do a full string swap/tune on yours? So yall can have even more in common lol
Posted By: dvdegeorge Re: Project HeliM - 03/17/14
Every thing is tuned and good to go
I'll let you know when it's time for string cable and tune up
My dealer is out of business so I need a good tech

Ricks bow arrived today. Got it in the shop, logged it in, placed it on the draw board to record specs. Factory specs listed at 29.5", 70#. Measured DL with factory strings 29.75". Then proceeded to check draw weight.

This is peak wt as I received it.

This is peak weight with limbs backed out the Mathews reccomended 1/2 turn off bottom.
Bow will not make peak weight--a sure sign of string stretch.

Bow tuned up great which is common for Mathews. Strings look awesome which is the norm for Strict9. Ready to see some dead animals next to this thing
