Thanks all you guys.Nice getting that nice feed back from you all.If there's anything you see wrong be sure to say it.I'm not perfect and these bows are'nt either.They are'nt my best performers really but still above average anyway.I think I may have a little too much wood on the outers myself and it should be working more on the inner limbs too.If I remember right I think I may have pulled these to 29" a bunch too while tillering.There was'nt any knots etc on these but that tree produced I think 5 good bows.Think it was a 10" tree.Not much waste.

Thanks fellas.I don't know where all these bows I'm making are gonna end up someday but I do have quite a few nephews and grand nephews that seem interested.Maybe some nieces that'll take an interest too I don't know.
I've been liking that circle full draw look lately with bows.Been doing it with a slight deflex in the handles.These were made 8 or 9 months back and just were given reflex from the fades with a flat handle to begin with.So it looks like the handles are extended some.
