 That leather looks good, Chris, thought you would like it. What is that bow called? I like the profile.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

 No that's not the same bow style. I got lucky and went home with a 3 piece take-down @56#.

this one draws 50#@31", so i'm guessing it's around 45#@28".  been wanting a medium weight bow to play with.  just got my 35/55 goldtips in today and i'll hopefully get them fletched tonight.  can't wait to see how they fly.  love these little bows!!

 It works, Chris, unless you hit it in the nose. Then they run off with your nice, expensive arrow. :-[

Mine is the serpentine. Ive been shooting it a lot and working on the longer draw. 65# at 31" I am getting it back 29 -30" now and man does that thing bury an arrow :o Took me a bit to get the feel for it but I really like it.
Leather looks cool  Chris
