Many, so good to see you posting your inspirational work again. That ELB is a classic especially the full arc tiller and the roundness of the limbs. War bow Marc is going to have poetic words for that one. Me, I like the wild fowl and Tarantula blunt pic. Keep em coming bro.

Beautiful- and strong- bow Manny :)! Do you find you have any trouble with arrow tuning with your wide-handled ELBs?

thanks guys,

Kegan,

a bit more to play with wide handles,..but more than that I really don't like the feel of them I much prefer the narro deep handle it just feel sso much better, from now on on my ELB's I will make a deep leather handle, I'm playing a bit now to find the right tecnique
