CONGRATS Alan that is one great looking bow. I am so happy you finally got the "dream bow". You will have to let us know all of your adventures with that beautiful bow.

Wow, the first crabbow we see. Would you please make a fd-curve on that. We have many on other bows but not any on a crabbow.

Redhorse ... sorry to be ignorant on this but I do not know how to do a fd-curve on this bow. I just received it the other day and today will be the first time I have had the chance to shoot it.

Its easy, you just brace it. And draw it with a scale. Read weight every inch you draw.
If you don't have a scale you can draw with, use stick and push it on a body weight scale. Make a tabel and let us calculate the energy stored in the bow.
