Nicely done.  Impressive that it is holding that reflex.  Not sure about the yew dye job though...I say, let hackberry be hackberry. That is just me though.

Always enjoy seeing your bows. 
"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

Very cool.  Hackberry's ability to make a great shooter surprised me in the beginning.  It is still surprising me.  Great job!
