insanely talented!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

Clint:  I have absolutely no idea on the draw weight.  Why I am so nervous is that there is only 4" of bendable limb for each side.

You might want to wear a cup when you string that thing.  One of those levers could do a lot of damage.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Matt I was surprised at how little wood it took to make 20#. I bet your bow is 60-70# right now. With my static I stick one tip in my thigh and hook the other under a countertop over hang, then pull up in the center and brace it, its a CHORE even at 18-20#!

Drums:  Yep, just flexing it a little bit, I'm thinking its way up where you said.  If it takes it, I may have to do some serious narrowing of the limbs.  It would be kinda difficult to pull a short 23-1/2" bow back at 60+ pounds.
