Looks like you have traveled this road before Greg! I haven’t got into making three piece takedowns so don’t get me to itching!
I know another feller on here that is about to bite the bullet and order him a bow blank from him also.

Well after much re-adjusting I finally got the Kenny-Karp ready to hunt. It must be that he knocked the sights off before shipping! 40# @ 28”, arrows 30”, 500 spine, total weight 600gr, broadheads and field points flying great. Last round this evening from 18-23 yards.
