Thanks Pappy. It's all I can do to stop myself from stringing it.

Just taking a peek, using the longstring. I see what needs to be corrected.

Thimo, I think I just "got" what is going on with this bow - an "ah-ha" moment, so to speak.

Grant you got it.

Thanks.

Why thank you! I figured it wouldn't be long before you started cooking-up something of that variety.
How is the stability with those thin recurved tips? I find stability is always where I fail with the most extreme shapes.

So far stability is spot on.

I've never had such a great feeling about a potential bow before.

Thimo, this is great.  Is it possible to see a couple of pictures of the tips without the clamp?  Justin
