Hey PD, how long is the bow overall?  I've never made a bow with that long a riser, but I've always heard that was a good way to make a fast/stable shooter.  I'm curious just how much working limb you have there.

I would have done the same friend. Its my first long riser bow and I love the feel during the draw and release, very stable. Very different than the standard 6-8" riser area I am used to. Try one buddy! You might like it.

I like it pearl! Looks to me like it's got stiff levers on the ends? Is it based off a molle?

I was only indisposed for a few moments  :laugh:

It looks good to me.  I noticed the lower limb ut I've had the lower limbs slightly change their tiller some.  I don't know that it's that important to get it perfect (more so that you have).  I try but it seems like you can over work it, or I can.  SO it kinda try to creep up on my target weight with allot of exercising the limbs and then stop when i get there unless I have a hinge.

Thats a good idea to exercise your limbs a bunch while you tiller. Be sure the weight drop you notice isnt from over stressing those limbs early. If your inducing set it will drop draw weight and performance in a flash. Slow an steady wins the race!

66" long. 12 inch riser I think you said? I don't know your draw is, PD, but that gives you 27  in max and that assumes your bow is bending out of the fades. Ash is very weak in compression and needs longer than the minimum IMHO. I never had much luck with it. I think I made 7 and 5  developed chrysals. I haven't used it in years. I have a friend who loves it. He draws 25 in and makes a bow 68 in long backed with rawhide. Jawge

It was too short George. I thought I took enough measures to prevent chrysals at 66". I draw 28".
