Thanks for the kind words guys! I may be wrong but my thinking with heating the inner lams was that I could increase stiffness without worrying about the compressive and tensile forces in those pieces. This was my second attempt at a bow over my Christmas break. The first one broke because of a bad glue job so I'm glad I had time to pump this one out. Back to school now! Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Classic or MOjam again this year as I'll be in full on study mode during the Classic and starting at the hospital during MOjam. The Classic might be possible but I'd be doing more studying than bow making if I made it down.  :P

One of the best bows I've seen on here, that bows looks like a brilliant shooter. It looks like it shoots 15 pounds heavier than it's drawweight!! You do have a very good attention to work clean and with detail.

Very nice reproduction, Ryan. You might want to check with James Parker, He has made some just like it but had to get permission to call them Hill Bows from Howard's Son.

Sweet bow, Ryan. Way to get one out between the studies. :)
