Holy! Beautiful!

Will you shoot it with thumb draw?...

Lots of reflex, wow

Not too long of a bow :P

Looks great Eddie. You got those tips way out ahead of the handle there, I'm never brave enough to do that even though I imagine it ups the performance. Probably contributes to the reason your bow is a snappy shooter for its lower draw weight.

That's why I was experimenting, they were straight up and that's where they settled in after shooting.

Thank you, Gentleman. I'm tempted to take it with me to Twin Oaks in November if I can get some arrows matched by then

That's a looker for sure . Profile says it all and it will be a lot of fun to shoot ! Bob.

Wow, very nice, that profile is almost like an asiatic horn bow, almost a Ming style to it. I like that a lot, I bet even for lighter weight it would throw a heavier arrow very well.

Thanks everybody, I really appreciate the compliments.

I really started out copying and old Flight Bow I saw at the Classic two years ago. I changed my mind when I decided not to sinew it.
