That's a cool bow too!  I've thought about doing a three-pc. several times, but I've never gotten around to it.  When I do, I'm sure I'll be looking back at yours.  Nice job! :)

Very nice bow James.  

I wrote an article for PA on just such a bow that I made a few years ago.  Performance was amazing and it shot like a dream, as I'm sure yours does as well.  It was a bit shorter than yours at 65" long.  I've since made one that's 60" long using Bamboo backed Pau Ferro limbs.

Interesting. I have to say three piece takedown bows are not my cup of tea but you did a nice job executing it.  8)

I'm not a fan of those big risers, but you make that one look good. It looks fast just sitting there, bet it'll really spit an arrow.
