Well, you didn't waste any time did you Arvin? Where's the full draw? You know the rules, you can't post a bow and not do a full draw.

Gee Arvin, I can't tell at all ;) cell phones have timers, or you can make video then pause it and take a screenshot. Just saying, you have options  )P(

But yeah, that brace profile looks smooth..

Looks nice Arvin.  After fighting set on similar length and widths bows previuos, I am curious if this one had any set?

Did you pull it to 28?

How thick do the limbs mike out at?

Ya Willie it took about 1” set. Was not concerned about it on this one. It bends good Kevin.

I know it does, just messing with you cowboy 🤠

I am surprised with it taking set, any idea why?

Must be the guy that tillered it.🤠🤠

Everyone needs a bow that they can shoot lots of arrows from.  It's a perfect weight Arvin.  It has just enough squiggles to make it cool, but not so much to make extra mass and soil the shooting characteristics.  Congrats!   :OK

Looks good Arvin. Reminds me of the wiggly blank you sent me.

I agree with Bob’s assessment
