Sweet. Tiller looks spot on and that's an achievement in and of itself on such a squirrely stick.  Blackhawk tips and a cool finish make it a keeper.  Like it a bunch.

That's a super looking bow!  Your dye job came out great.  Nice grip too.

I thought you were done with short bows.

Wickedly sharp bow Chris. Back profile with the wide inner limbs and skinny outters, side profile with the kinks and reflex, handle, finish and tiller, all excellent. Love it man.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
