Thanks Steve.  It's 53#'s @ 28" right now.  Figured I would lose a pound or 2 with final sanding.  This forward handle experiment may have worked out.  I was hoping to minimize set further out in the draw with the 1" of handle placed up front.  It didn't lose much weight going from 24" to 28". 

*And I kept my width parallel past mid limb on this one, after reading one of your post.  I believe this helped out.  Still seems underweight though.  I believe it's about 18 oz right now.  62" ntn.

That's lookin real nice Ben.  8) I found that keeping the width parallel past mid-limb was helpful with the R/D design as well.  :) Can't wait to see her all dressed up  ;)

   Actually your mass is spot on. I bet that bow would do great with flight arrows. Very efficient design
