Beautiful bow.  The unbraced profile is sick.  I bet that thing sends an arra screaming. 

[El Destructo]

Ryano I tarded a whole big box of..... 
I do believe he does all his own lams 

                                                                    Your Tarded alright!!!!

[DanaM]

Brazilian cherry and rock maple eh, works for me

Rick it does indeed send em screaming

I guess I am tarded Mike

[Ryano]

James what do use to make the tapered lams? Do you have one of fancy grinders?

[james parker]

yea an older style cabinet sander, i used to use my table or band saw cut them close then hand finishbut thas was very slow going,and if you pick up a splinter of epi   or brzl cherry it really sux.

[DanaM]

James how far can this bow be drawn safely?

[james parker]

28" working it into that draw length,it should take 30min of limb working ,no less on such a new bow.the limbs will eventually get the memory they need for it to be pulled to 28' at a regular basis.dana just go slow no need to be in a hurry,if you do it right the bow will out last you...james

[DanaM]

Good info James, right now I'm only pulling about 25" if the doc can fix my shoulder I may eventually pull 27"
