Very nice work and having all 3 of these bows from the same split is really cool.

Indeed, very well executed. You got a pretty long draw for such a shorty.

Thank you Legionnaire for the compliment and the short joke...I assume you weren't talking about the bow

Excellent bow you made there. If it were me I'd want to hold on to it for a while just to make sure it shoots well... ;)
