nice bow, i love the molle design and i am shooting an osage molle right now, 57 tip to tip and 59 pounds at 28 inches, they are excellent fast smooth and ultra quiet shooters, i shot mine at cloverdale, p'catewah posetha(black cat) has over 500 shots on it. let us know how the wheelie guys like the molle, at cloverdale there were alot of people that didnt have a clue as to what kind/style of bow it was.   beautiful bow, you will be very pleased with it, i have made many bows out of red oak, the seceret is grain,grain, and grain.

I really like this bow. good job! when I cut the straightest 66" piece out of a red oak board i recently purchased, i was a bit scared to make anything but a dbow. after seeing this unbacked beauty which has such short sections of bending wood, I think I'm going to try to do it as an unbacked flatbow. that'll be stretching my tillering skills. thanks for inspiring my confidence in red oak!

you have a very beautiful finish on that bow, red oak is nice wood, the molle design is a low brace heigth design and any bow that is lower in brace heigth will put much less stress on the limbs and make for a long lasting bow.if that molle was in the bow of the month id already be voting for yours. nice work.

Sorry guys I must have locked this by accident.. ?? ;D
 Thanks again everyone...

Colt glad I could inspire ya... Red oak really is pretty good, and as long as the grain is good, there is no reason you have to back it...

Thanks! The bow is based on an ancient design... I'm no expert on them though... Halfeye(rich) is probably the expert on them.
