Very cool looking bow.  The skins are very unique.  I would watch that loop slipping out of the groove.  Looks like you could make a new string with a smaller loop and it would fix the problem.

Wow great job on that one Danny.  I like the skins a lot.  Looks like some good woodland camo right there.  +1 on a smaller looped string.  Love that bow.

Very cool little bow. I love short osage static recurves and you did a great job on this one.  8)
