Looking great! How much is the Ti kit going to cost and are you offering other 'enhancements' ?
I'm seriously considering that bow if I sell my Excalibur BD400. ..

So....I guess I'm not real clear on what the progress is. Is changing the screws gonna drop a lot of weight? Are these screws gonna be tightened to the point they cannot come loose vrs the regular screws with Loctite added? What's the gain? Just curious to know....

A very small weight loss and they do not rust. They are expensive though.

Titanium pending part is appointment 50% less weight .

Titanium in material with key point on limb bolts is a better dampening material. When you have less weight you also cancel resonance..You have cleaned transfer of energy, a more efficient shot cycle . It’s not something that is going to increase the 50fps but for those looking for any gains they can get in a bow to maximize the performance the titanium is a nice addition.

I don’t have a price yet. I got 4 more screws I want to get changed out .

How do you deal with the Ti to Al interface and corrosion? It was a big deal on bikes when I was racing and a weight weenie... Ti to Fe interface is OK but to Ti in contact with Al will cause the Al to quickly corrode and weaken.

The thing that I am told of is the Ti and Alum with lock together. For that we use copper base anti seize on all parts that are to be removable. This allows for a barrier between the 2 metals . Going on 7 years or so now working with titanium kits and it’s been a good process
