    Well, the super mag arrived yesterday, finally got a half hour to myself to shoot it. First impressions, in no particular order:

      Beautiful little bow.. much prettier in person I think

      I suspect, pound for pound, it is the slowest bow I have ever shot

      I noticed that if I didn’t get strong, deep hooks with my string hand I would feel finger pinch. If I consciously got those good hooks, there was none. Fatigue was a factor in this and I wonder if the pinch wouldn’t be harder to resist with a heavier bow?

      From awkward positions, like kneeling, sitting cross legged, sitting shooting sideways, or sitting shooting square on, this was the nicest bow I have ever shot, just on account of it being so short.

      I didn’t notice any stacking.

      It’s whisper quiet, but if you look at the photos on page one, you can see why. Big heavy wool puff silencers, wool limb protectors and wool strikeplate/shelf. I think when I buy some shafts to tune to it, I’ll get rid of all of that and see if I can reduce some drag without making it noisy.

      It is absurdly light.

    I will take some photos over the weekend and try and get to the archery shop for some shafts to make up. I’m shooting the last 3 2018 Al arrows I own out of it today as they’re the closest I have to a spine match.
