Really nice. As others have said, I'd be interested in some close up pics.

How is the angled handle section constructed? Some info on the build and construction would be very interesting.

That's a sweet bow, James, I like that style. Must be fast, too-the wind off the arrows leaving the bow has done sucked all the hair off your head. ;D

Very nice bow.  How's the hand shock on such bows?
