Yea I agree blackhawk but would it make that much diff in performance really?I realize these things are done in little bits though.Anyway.It's scary enough for me to stand behind and pull.
raghorns....I plan on it.Look for a teepee and we'll bull^%* a while.

Yeah Ed...you know I'm just kidding around ...that little bit won't make a difference when there's so many other variables and larger factors at play....UNLESS your perfect and do everything perfect and make THE perfect bow.....now who does that..NOBODY......  :laugh:

I'll do better with a hedge molly Chris.I do have a hickory or two that is at least as narrow though that I never posted.Must have 30 bows here I never posted because I did'nt have that confounded digital camera yet.My rack of shame tells me I'm not perfect over here.Course that might disappear once winter comes around and they get chucked into the wood stove......LOL.

Good looking unbraced profile Ed. Impressive for a shorter bow.

Great looking bow ed. I bet it shoots as well as your other do too. Excellent work as usual.

DVS & Bryce.....Thanks.A little change of pace for me....no sinew...LOL.Somehow elm has a way of being smooth.Not as much reflex and can get it strung with the push pull method this time if I got to.I've gotten used to using my old primitive stringer though and always keep it in my pocket.
