Nice bow, Marc. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who ruined my shot my breaking bows. Hope shooty lefty works for you.

That is a beautiful bow Marc. I love those profiles. I really need to try this design.

Thanks guys.

Sadly I am quite a bit more accurate when I shoot right but need to force myself to focus on the draw.  Shooting left forces me to focus on my form instead which is not instinctive, yet

You've got one of the best eyes for tiller and woodwork out there Marc.Taking those full draw pics does it's job.Your staying busy while it's white & cold up there too.Sweet looking brace and full draw profile.A different combo of materials for people to see.One thing I notice is your concern for balance of forces back to belly.Like the length on that bow too.
Have you seen any moose lately?I know you showed you made a good stand a while back.

I saw a set of Moose tracks a couple months ago during hunting season Ed, they were about 100 yards from my house, but nothing since then.  I think they have moved to higher ground now

Can't remember a wood combo like this.
The profiles look great, I like how the recurves opens up just a bit in the f/d.

Beautiful bow Marc as usual. I know a lot of folks that have switched to left hand for the same reason and it has seemed to work for them. Good luck with that. Nothing worse for folks that love bows and shooting than TP. I don't even say the words anymore. ;) :) :)
