I really like the Carp skins, once again our creativity is inspired. 54" ? How wide is it at midlimb? I like the idea of short brush bows.

wow! another sweet bow. very nice looking profile pappy! how much reflex did you put into it before tiller? did you use dry heat or steam? im guessing dry heat but anyways very sharp looking bow. -whitewood

Thanks guys I appreshate it.Sidewinder it is 2 inches from the fads to mid limb and the tapered
to 3/8 or less at the tips.White wood I put about 2 inches to start and heat treated the belly.

I also recurved the last 3 to 4 inches of the tips.

Nice looking bow. Love the carp skin and the tips look great. It's amazing what a Hickory flatbow can put up with. I slapped together a little bow out of scrap pieces for my kids, and tillered it out to my draw length to make sure it wouldn't blow up on them, and it doesn't have any string follow.
