now do i have to go to therapy. lol. thanks.

steve the tips on this bow actually work quite a bit thats why i couldnt figure out how to get the weight down.

jd i think that if the handle bends and the woods drier than hell you can get away with a lot more than when ya use a stiff handle. plus every native bow ive seen hasnt played by the rules. peace

Jamie, another way to look at it, if you were to draw the bow to 28" and it was 56# then you mass would be right there anyway. I haven't been talking about it a lot because it is comming out in tb4 but the chapter explains how tiller shape effects the mass as well. Your bow is really pretty close to right on. Steve

Very nice, Jamie. I really like the truly primitive approach you use on the bows I have seen of yours. The tiller is beautiful.

You make some of the nicest bows Jamie - simple and elegant in design and perfectly tillered.
