Bub, you know I always put fur silencers on my bows, never realized this one is without until you just mentioned it. What the hell I'll try that first.
Thanks Goat, I have to get some pics up of the snakeskin backed yew that you sent me, now that is a a looker and it has been getting a lot of compliments from people who has been over to the house the past few weeks.

I really like your bows!  They just fit my vision of everything a primitive bow should be and nothing they shouldn't be.

Easy one
It is bending too much in the middle/inner limbs, mid to outer limbs need to bend more.

I kinda like those numbers Greg. Be I nice shoot all day bow for me. I'm thinking I might have to put a bid or two on that one if you donate it at Marshall.

beautiful bow Greg, love it.

[PNewton]

Great looking bow Greg. It will get lots of bids at Marshall.

Mikekeswick, I could work on those areas some, maybe a little more at the top limb? Thanks for the tiller eye.

Thanks for the comments fellas, much appreciated.

That tiller looks good to me, McGregor. I'd try fur on the string or another string all together. Getting more bend outward will make it bounce more, IMO.

I like a little feedback from the bows I shoot.  I think you should give up on that one and just send it to me .  Looks great Greg.

[Badly Bent]

Put one big fat fur silencer on her and shot some, didn't seem to make a difference. Still on the fence as to whether the shock is enough to warrant taking the scraper to it. While shooting it and paying closer attention, (something I should do more often), I noticed I could feel the bend beginning in the handle quite early in the draw indicating the mid/outers should be weakened as Mike suggested.
Pondering my next move.

The birch backing gives it a great look. Reading between the lines of your words, I'm betting you will be taking a scraper to it.

I like the ends and the tiller. The bend in the handle bows have no place for the limb vibration to go except into each other and your hand? I am asking here cause I haven't built but a couple. Nice looking bow . Arvin
