well i finally got my full draw pics so i could show it off! this hickory bow is make from billets and has one big knot growth on the lower limb. i named this bow "prince charming" (thanks Justin
) because of the wart like knot. this bow is 66 1/2" long and pulls 52#@28" now that is dry. i used tung oil as a finish to bring out the grain of the wood. the handle is a 4" handle because of the takedown sleeves. it is 1 7/8" wide at the fades and narrows to 1/2" nocks. the bow is made from sister billets that were both snakey and have plenty of twist back and forth. when i glued the sleeves on i made the handle an almost center shooting handle. this bow shoot awesome. my best shooting bow so far. very smooth draw, no stack and a sweet release. the lower limb is 1/8" stronger than the top and the tiller is right on. the pics show a little twist but ill put up a shot of the bow on the tiller stick to show the sweet arc. the handle is a chocolate leather wrapped with hemp. let me know what you guys think, thanks for looking, -jesse
