Pappy, I was looking at the Samick option, but kind of wanted a one-piece bow, so went that route.

JGray, that looks really nice.

I'm getting myself up to speed with things I've never heard of before...things like Spine, PPI, GPP, FOC. Lots to learn. with the 50 lb longbow and my longish arms, looks like I'll need about a 32" shaft, 400 spine, probably 150-200gr head.
