Elm/Hickory LB My Second

My second LB. I got an elm board and a strip of hickory, planed, toothed and glued with URAC185 inducing 1.5" of reflex. Ended up with a 67.5" n>n, 1 3/4 w., pulling what feels like about 55-60 pounds at my 26.5". I could tiller more into the tips, but it is shooting quite fast and has 1.25" of set in it after two dozen shots. Go easy on me, it is my second bow and my first glue up. I started throwing arrows in a small group with this right off the bat, so I will just get some finish on it and shoot it. I wanted to have this bow ready for the Alterra Knap-In tomorrow (WVa) and I did! PD

good work, Pete! Looks really good! Also looks like you can shoot it well too which is the most important thing!

Looks good and a good tiller too. How does it shoot? Interesting combo of woods, that seems to work well

It sure look's like a nice shooter. We can't get board wood like that here.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
