BTW - I tought I would mention two more things about the TXG's. I put all the limbs I have and few I borrowed thru the chrono from my 20yd crawl. I was shooting Easton Lightspeeds using a custom cordavan tab and mono severing.

Two things that were very telling to me. 1) the TXG's were within 1 fps of the fastest pair of limbs. 2). the TXG's gave me the smallest deviation over the 20 shot strings (3 fps deviation)

Was it telling that the fastest limbs gave me the largest deviation for the 20 shot string (6 fps deviation)

I seldom discuss the data from my chrono test becuase oddly enough the data from a chronograph is much more subjective than any of us what it to be and be influenced a great deal by the shooter.

To me the most important inforation from my chrono is the deviation. I think that reflects on how good a job I am doing (with a certain pair of limbs)espically regarding string walking. Since with a deep crawl the shooters form can really influence the speed.

So what this ment to me......with a 20yd crawl I am having to "over draw" the limbs to get the arrow point thru the clicker if compared to my draw shooting a 60yd shot. Where I will get my largest deviation on the chronography is with my short yardage shoots. I think this is where the less radical cord and the lateral stiffness of the TXG's shine for a string walker.

I use the chronogarphy as a testing tool for my form as much as a test for arrow speed. If you don't worry so much about the actual results but look more at the statistics from the data it will help you select the limbs that are going to work best for you. (IMO)
