Marc, this bow is going to be shot by guys that may not be able to pull 45#@28". They requested 35# to 40# but I just couldn't take it down any more. ;)  It draws very smoothly so they should be able to handle the extra 5#.  I did tiller it out to just over 29" for safety sake though. ;)
 Don. I like that idea. probably more appropriate too. Thanks.
Thanks, John.             Pat

Your nocks sure made this bow. Not to mention the great tiller. Bookmarked, too :)

Another dandy there Pat ;D. I think I could prolly shoot that a little better than the ERC you brought to the Classic :).

Not this time Steve.
Paul, this bow is about 50# lighter than the one I had at the Classic. ;) These long bows are quite accurate to shoot. I was shooting 4", 4 arrow groups at 15 yards.    Pat

Very nice Pat.  You could get another 3 or 4 inches of draw length with that length of bow
Well someone could get a few more inches out of it, but Pat would need longer arms to do it.  ;) ;D
Great looking bow Pat. Those tips are incredible.  Perhaps I should send you the rest of the cow horn so I don't ruin it all.  ::) Justin

Thanks Tracy.  They are a nice touch but a pain in the arse!
Justin, I think it was the horn that made them come out so nice.  ;)  maybe you should just go ahead and send them on. I'd hate to be responsible for you messing them horns up.  ;D
   Marc, I can't pull this one to its intended full draw of 28". I'm lucky to hit 26"!
Robbs, tall trees! ;D   This bow will be shot from the ground. It is going to a reenactment group...however, I have shot a 68" long bow from a treestand. You just have to be aware of your surroundings.     Pat
