Sweet Shooter there.  I like that unbraced profile.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Looks good Jimmy,built in the cold always for a good shooter,by the way great fly over last night,did you see the 8 point and 2 does in the corn field,I was watching them at 50 yards when you came over,after the 3rd fly over they had had enough.Good thing it was getting dark and I was ready to come out,you saved me getting stuck in the stand. Sorry for the off topic, back to to bow.  :)Beautiful. ;) :) :)

No I didn't see them. Wasn't sure where you were. I also buzzed Will and Greg's place. I figured it was time to come out. 

I'll give props where they are due. Will encouraged me to trap the back. I like it. I'm up and getting dressed now. It's about 10 degrees but I'm headed to the stand with this bow. I sure would like to get some experience under its belt ;-)

Nice looking hickory bow.  Great work.  That unbraced profile is awesome.
