Absolutely crazy bow from the curves to its patina, the character and the amazing tiller for such a shorty.

Just a beautiful bow. I've been wanting to make a bow with an angled handle like this for a while now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you all for your interest and response, Gentlemen. I will continue my bowery til you get tired  ;D ;D ;D


  Beautiful job on that one, does it try to twist when you draw it with that off center handle?

Steve, the 'built forward handle' helps a lot for stability. But you are on the right track, to shot this baby you have to put your bowhand on the exact position (tip - pivot point - tip). The wiggle goes a tick over the center, so the place for the arrow is a bit lower.
Hope my crude words make sense.



Great job sir. How's it draw in the hand?

Matt, please see answer given to Steve above. Thanks buddy!
