That's some mad brace height!  :o ...

I thought so, too, when first saw it on the German archery side, but he said over there it's something like 6"; must be the perspective on that one picture.

Dang Matthias, I just LOVE that fulldraw shot!

I agree with BearG -- you should frame that last pic and hang it on your wall.   Great art!

Steilpassfänger, what really impresses with your bows, other than the great craftmanship, is you blend of textures and colors.  I'm going to try to work a little more with textures on my next project.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Good looking bow. Always liked that type of handle. Killer rings in that osage, you can tell it's the "nitro".

Glad you like my new little bow.

@bowmo
The rings are about 2mm.

@Cacatch
I used deer rawhide, it is really strong. And it shoots quite fast, had only tried it with 460grain arrows, have to try it with 300 grain arrows, and ask my chrono when the weather is better.
