Carbon Tembo

Not sure if i made the right choice or not, but I just ordered a carbon backed "Tembo" with lamboo lams. Seems like everybody who has a "Tembo" loves them and I always wanted to try one. So...... it will be 66", 56@28, ebony riser, black glass on the belly. I'm thinkin' it should be a heck of a bow. What should I call this bow? Thanks!

Just got done shooting a few arrows with the new bow. Kinda chilly(5.7) but the wind was down. Didn't seem too bad. Of course when ever I shoot a bow it is usually tough to stop. The tembo does seem a bit stiffer than the wesley I just sold. Not sure what to attribute that to. Whether it is the carbon, the lamboo, or 3 inches shorter. The wesley was the same weight(56@28). It does seem quicker. Will have to chrono it this spring when it warms up a bit. Shot a traditional Gold tip, 55-75, full length, with a 145 gr. point, and it seemed to shoot quite well(approx. 500gr.). What really surprised me was how quiet it was. Even without any string silencers it didn't make much noise. I have bows with silencers that make more. I really like the straight grip and it seems a bit larger than the wesley and really feels good. Took a few pictures and we'll have to see if they turned out. Thanks!!
