Grandpa Ray's bow, which as you might recall had a split tip, is now fixed. I added some epoxy to the split (which was a delamination between the layers more than anything) and clamed it tight for 24 hours. Strung it up and she shoots like a dream. It's a Bear Tigercat, 62" with 45# at 28" draw. I think I like it more than the Ben Pearson Cougar a bit, simply because it has a smaller grip. Fits my hand really nice. My first group out of it I put six arrows inside a dinner plate at 20 yards. Granted, the groups was down and left of where I was aiming, but at least they were consistent!Grandpa Ray had camo'd the bow with some super sticky tape, so I need a little Goo-Gone to get it's finish back to factory. I'm going to keep a close eye no that tip to make sure it's good. If it starts cracking or delaminates again, I'll likely hang it up for good.I'm using the same string on both bows, which means I should probably invest in another string so I can keep them both strung and both tuned. I think the knocking point for the Pearson is slightly off compared to the Bear, which may be a reason I'm shooting down/left. After the string, I may be investing in some arrows. Grandpa's aluminum ones are taking a beating, to put it mildly.</blockquote>
