Mikey like! I picked up a used exotic 60" really like it got to shoot it a fair bit today. It's a little louder than I expected with my current arrows. Have beaverballs on now any suggestions for less noise? Arrows are full length trad only 500 with 200 up front. Bow is 53#@28 guessing I'm 27" draw. Thanks Mike.

Just looked at the web site said 8" for a 60" will put a few twists in and see.

Congrats on the bow Mike. My Bob Lee like 8.25” brace. Twist it up a turn at a time till it quiets down. Twist some more till it gets loud again then back it off. That’ll be your sweet spot.

Doesn't anyone down there shoot wood arrows anymore ?

Had to give them up. Termites are so bad that any misses stuck in the ground are all chewed up before I can get to 'em!!!

Ha ha!
I do bet your humidity could affect straightness over time.
Been shooting wood arrows for 30 years.
