Need more bows

I popped down to Border bows yesterday looking for a flat bow and came away with a Black Heritage Osprey 66" @ 47lbs. I was promised minimal hand shock and a smooth bow but when I shot it I could not believe it. Zero hand shock and a bow so smooth it was hard to believe. Because of the stable platform my groups shrunk drastically and for the final surprise of the night I shot my last end at 40 metres and dropped 5 out of 9 arrows in the gold something I have struggled to achieve recently because bowshock with my other bow tended to spread the arrows out in a lovely horizontal line. Tuning the bow took a total of three minutes. The first set up of 6 1/2" brace height and just over 1/4" nock was perfect.
This bow is a joy to shoot but unfortunately now I have nothing to blame for bad arrows but me.
I'd also like to thank everybody at Border bows for the hospitality considering that I just turned up out of the blue. The workshop tour and the archery talk made it a very enjoyable afternoon.
