Made this with my new Pine Hollow Longbows Oval Takedown sleeve system. These come with a 4'' oval shaped handle and two brass insert sleeves that make the glue up of the handle section so much easier than the old style D shaped that only come with one brass sleeve. Here is a link to them.

Looks nice Mike. Got a full draw for us? From the braced profile I’m guessing it looks nice.
