Here you go old man (s). You forced me to take bad pics of an otherwise nice bow! I finished this a week ago.

64" ntn, 1 1/2" wide flatbow style, heat tempered, 1" held reflex, trapped back, water buffalo overlays, and a simple straight/dished grip. It pulls an easy 60 plus @ 27". I got the wood from my buddy osage hater Ryan. Thanks for a nice chunk doc! This is another child of Martyjam13.

I was going to send it you Roybert, but since its well over 41# I knew you wouldnt be able to chipmunk hunt with it. I know how much you enjoy your chipmunk hunting at your advanced age and all.

Better watch out workin that white wood, Chris. You'll ruin your rep!! ;D

That turned out excellent. Glad to see it finished up. Make sure to share what you do with those billets. After them we might find you cutting more white woods.  ;)
