Nice.  I love the way those wide working limbs let you get the whole diamond to show in that snakeskin.  Your finish work is really top notch.  Beautiful bow!

Dang Cody..that is sexy from every angle,unbraced to brace to full draw..perfecto man,and I think your the "Molly master" now..lol  :laugh: that's gotta be one smooth pulling rocket launching bow,and I'm glad you reflexed the levers,it makes it all the sweeter. But yes you still can scrape a lil more off of em,but there's nuttin wrong with yours. It takes a couple to know how small you can go. That thing is awesome :)

Real nice job, Cody! I love those Molles, too. Nice curves on those levers and great brace and drawn profiles. Of course, as usual, your finish work is primo!! 8)

Thank all you guys for the  comments. Yup, its one smooth drawing bow, about as fast as any I've made. There is also no handshock And it is almost noiseless!
 @ Chris, thats kind of you to say, but I have to disagree about me being the master. you got them things down to a science! Thanks again for your help.

 @ dwardo, I cut the levers out to 3/4" thick and 3/4" wide at the base tapering to 1/2" wide at the tip. From there I straightened them till they were aligned with the grip and in line with each other. Then I reflexed them on a form. It is of the UTMOST importance that they have the string runing down the exact center of the levers or they will twist out of alignment. After  I tiller the bowI narrow the levers about 1/8" and reduce there thickness a bit. Blackhawk helped me with the dementions on mine and I'm sure he would help you out with any other ?'s you may have.

Also forgot to mention she has  1 3/8" resting reflex and has a 3/16" positive tiller.
