Very nice, I do have to agree with radius on the short draw. I like the swiss cheese handle with the snakeskin underneath.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

I like it...A LOT 8)
 Hafta agree with the others though. A little better full draw would help.  I do like what I can see of it though. ;)
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Hard to get a full draw picture sometimes,we are bow builders not photo experts,and no one said
it had to draw 28 to be a bow,Venom. I never draw 28 and I have seen a bunch and I mean a bunch of folks shoot and very few, even tho they say they do draw 28.I guess it is a mocho thing or something.  ??? Beautiful bow .  :)

The full draw picture was taken back before the bow had the finish work done to it...basically just after tillering was complete. If you notice, the skins weren't on the bow yet. I don't know if Doug was all the way back or our timing was off on when the picture was snapped. I took the rest of the pictures behind my house, and didn't have Doug available for a full draw picture at that time. Doug and I work together, so the bow was returned at work and not the best place for me to snap a full draw picture of he and the bow.

We ended up using the old one that you see, and this was my fault since I told Doug it would be fine. So you guys out there need to blame me for the short full draw picture...go ahead, make my day!  ;D ;)

We can arrange another picture of this fine bow if you can't see enough to judge the tiller... ;)

Josh, I don't think any one is offended...at least for my part I'm definitely not. Just explaining the full draw picture. At the point that picture was taken, Doug hadn't shot a bow very much since he had been a kid. That may have come into play or just the timing of snapping the picture. I can assure you though, that nothing is being attempted to be hid by a short draw pic. Just how it happened to turn out. If Doug wants to take another picture of him with the bow at full draw I'll be more then happy to take the picture. Like I said before, I'm the one responsible by telling him the one he posted would be fine. ;) Life is Good! :)
