    I had one that was mint and sold it. At the time I couldn't figure out the grip issue. Very nice bow though. I can't recall the speeds.....

    so maccording to that cam sheet I would want the #3 mod for 29" giving me 29.5 actual draw length? Also I didn't see brace height or ATA of the bow. On some posts that I looked up there were some problems with the arrow rest having to be put in some cases 5/8ths high. Is this the "norm" with this bow?

    Some of those posts were mine and the Aigil that I had at the time, was indeed, a pain in my arse because I couldn't get it tuned without having the rest that high. The guy I sold it to, and he knew of the problem, said he found a defect, I think, in the way the limb bolts attached? I can't really remember, but it was a problem I had with that particular Aigil. The 3 I've had since have tuned level. The speeds of the two I still have are in my sig.

    Brace is 7 3/4 I think.

    Great bow! I shoot both of mine better than either of my GTO's and they are much quieter and in a class by themselves as far as smoothness is concerned. I shot a big 8 pointer last year with one and I know I held at full draw for over a minute. No problem. In my opinion, the Aigil is the best hunting bow ever made, end of conversation.

    For tuning, the timing hole on the cam should be playing peek-a-boo with the edge of the limb. Not quite tangent, but almost. If you have idler lean, simply twist one cable side or the other to correct.

    Talk about simple, "set it and forget it" technology, that's the Aigil!
    Twin GTO's 60# 397 gr 280 fps, 50# 373 gr 263 fps
    Ross 331 60# 373 gr 262 fps
    Twin Aigils 69# 397 gr 291 fps, 64# 397 gr 280 fps
    Ross HD 70# - not chrono'ed yet (64# 373 gr 275ish???)

    You are correct that a #3 mod gives you 29.5 actual, and that is the case on both of mine.
