Ooh, Ooh, that one is for me I just know it! It looks like it wants to be shot left handed. ;D I've got a busy summer so I wont be able to shoot it until late July so take your time.  ;) That is a seriously awesome looking bow, I'll be stoked when I come home to it.

A question, Josh. Did the limbs start out straight and the curves were the result of set that was a planned eventual product of the short bow length? No matter how I tried to word that is didn't sound right. I hope you know what I mean. ???

That's a great question! I'm glad you asked.  It just so happens that Rich (halfeye) and I had this very conversation not long ago.  It is Rich's expert opinion that the original gullwings are just that, a result of set.  After taking into account the very short lengths of the originals, that is not only possible, but highly probable if not inevitable.  This one is considerably longer than the originals to avoid the set.  But to get the profile I wanted, I heated in the bends.  I actually heated in more than I really wanted, but it still shoots dang good so no worries.  The next one will have more reflex.  Thanks for the kind words everyone!  Josh
