Hmmm, just went back and re-read the bows "stats" - 48# @ 28"...that sounds like ME  ;D  Sure hope/wish/pray that Bow is headed to Michigan!  If not, someone else is gonna be REAL happy when it arrives on the door step.



(never mind...just went back to the list of participants and noticed there are 25+ folks in that same draw length and # range  :-\
 ;D ;D ;D

Thanks to all for the wonderful comments. I'm going to wrap it up and ship it out as is. Hopefully the recipient will appreciate it as much as you all have. Thanks again!

@Lee:  :)  Yeah seemed like the length and # were the most frequent numbers, so I didn't think I'd be giving too much away by posting them.

Very nice, I love the color.
Only thing that looks scary to me is the shelf looks to be cut into the side of a bendy handle......maybe I am seeing it wrong.

@DEllis: I think I see what you mean about the shelf in the bendy handle from the pic and I have a feeling it is more of an issue with the angle I took the pic that exaggerated that appearance. I put the bow through its paces and it is performing very well, but in the end we'll leave the final critique to the intended victim.  >:D

...Did I say victim? I meant target whom was assigned to me for assassina...er...that is...um..."trade recipient."   O:)

I would stitch on a simple buckskin wrap as a grip.  It gives it the "finished" appearance.  Perhaps the reason you are asking the forum is because you, yourself feel that it needs something; that it isn't quite done?   Very nice bow.  Great tiller.  I like your dye job on the bamboo.
