LOL, I wasn't looking for a chance to complain, I must've started to post right after your first post with half the pictures.  Fortunately, it warned me you had posted again when I went to post mine (which had a shameless request for a full draw shot :-[) and you had already added it.  Felt pretty silly.

That is my favorite full draw profile. ;D  Every time I get a stave with some natural reflex on the tips I try for that look.  I do agree with Dell, and had to get a quilt out after looking at the pictures.  I'm sure a weather wimp since moving to Texas.

Nice job,
George

Nice looking bow ....a few questions for ya

Are you at 28" in the full draw pic?....when was this made? Did you miss your target weight,or did you intend to make it low poundage?

Really good looking bow.  Love the antler rest.

Thanks again guys
George ...just having a little fun with you
Blackhawk ...in the pic I would guess im drawing 26"I was shooting for 40the person I am giving it to was looking for a lighter draw weight due to shoulder issues but I missed my target due to a hinge by the knot I had to work out.and I finished it about a week and a half ago and the finish on it a out 4daysa ago re did the string cause I did not like the fit...than it snows before I got the wood put up ...by the way u have the new addition to the fam.yet???
oh and the pics made me cold to ;D ;)
