I noticed a lot of things in the video. The biggest was how much set his bow took when he started trying to string it. Makes me wander the real weight of the bow. How would the 198 @ 28 be accurate if the bows never been strung?
Or, am I wrong? Would a self bow backset back to a straight profile?
BTW, it’s a stupid video. Fast forward to where he starts stringing it. And, know it’s not the ending you’ll be hoping for when that stringer breaks.

When I was growing up the guys that could do it didn't pound their chest about it....
.......now everyone is, "Look at Me, Look at Me" whether they can do it or not. It's the new generation of self promotion.
When he can actually pull his body weight with a compound and a trad bow, then I MIGHT be inclined to be impressed.
So this Bomar guy was thinking that he could mail-order a world record class bow and shoot it…. right out of the box.
Suuuuure…
I found another guy who weighs a buck seventy and had video of himself drawing what he said was about #200 to 30”. Maybe that bow was spec’d #230@32”?
“When he can actually pull his body weight with a compound and a trad bow, then I MIGHT be inclined to be impressed.”
Hmmm…. Rolling the cams on a compound at your body weight would be a trick, but shooting a heavy trad bow and a compound at the same weight are a world apart. I guess you either know or you can’t even imagine….
I’m happy with my #62. That’s just a pound short of half what I weighed when I got home from my Elk trip last fall. Call it good!
