Interesting combo of designs! How is the hand shock? A full draw pic would also be awesome.

Black walnut 60" with osage tip overlays
58#@26"
handle is hemp wrap set with massey finish
Mossy Oak camo on limbs with camo serving wraps

I would like to thank rich and ken for inspiring me to build this bow.It turned out far greater than i ever expected and shoots so hard and fast yet whisper quiet and dead in hand!Now with a bit of luck we shall get some blood on it tommorow.Season opener in VA!!Enjoy and thanks Guys!

Great looking bow. I am a fan of the profile.

Pretty cool looking bow I wondered why more people didn't do the r/d with that design. Wasn't sure if there were performance issues or just hard to keep the limbs from twisting with the long narrow tips. Like to see the full draw after your finished.
It can be a little tricky to keep from twisting these if you recurve them to much, but the deflex helps solve the problem.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.
