The bow is 66'ntn, 50 # @ 27 " slightly bendy handle

shoots excepionally well and fast

Great bow Mike!! Is that stacked leather on the handle? Looks nice.

BTW, great job of teaching Manny.

As far as i know mike has no internet, I'll let himmknow about your comments, will give himmthe web adress to so he might check the board out


yeah the handle is stacked leather, since the bow is sligthly bending it seemed a good choice, the backing is 2 layers of cotton, pretty bad grub damage on the back made us go that way,.......it's time to give credit to cotton as a backing I think , the bow has retained 1" of reflex and the cotton kept splinters down enought to not let the bow blow, that's where the upper limbs wrappings are

I like the coarse lacing on the grip, I can almost feel my fingers around it from here :).
Nice...
