Mike, that is the problem with relying on the elipse to heavily. You can change it to match the bow and don't always have the right elipse.  If you are using a stif handle you cannot use an eipse that is bending in the handle.  I was thinking what Rich said.  You made the limbs plenty wide to do the work, but you didn't use the wides part of the limb.  Your bow is bending at the area marked red and the wides part of the limb is between the green marks.  Now all of that extra width is extra mass that isn't working.  It is a beautifull design though.  Justin

Thank You Greg.....Brian....Sean....I appreciate it....I know it's not perfect....but I think that the way it is leaning against the Fence is making it look a lot worse than it is....but the Wife was gone before I got Home from Work....She's working Nights........so I got the trusty Wildveiw Game Camera out....and do you know how much trouble it is to set one up to take your Picture!!! Every time I would Draw the Bow.....it didn't go off till I let down!! Took forever...but I got one for you at full Draw...not in the T Stick

SD is right:  your stance is all wrong!  And you say I have an 18 pack! 

i think that bow looks pretty cool:  sure to get a lot of votes in bow of the month...but let's see you take on those sinew backed bows, buddy...

ya i got two screws in my right knee,aint squat compared to you though.(had 3 surgeries at once on that one)
i ripped the heck out of my acl in kickboxing about a decade ago.man that surgery was the worst pain i have ever experienced.also two rotor cuff  surgies and gunshot wound surgery when i was very young

As for the Hair....I cut it off about every 4 Years...and do the Same....but I don't think they would want it any more....too gray and Thin!!!! Old Age you know..and what good is a Man without His Hair anyways?? :o

  The bow look's good, But I think it needs a little scraping where the wide part is. But I doubt it will hurt if you don't. Is the boo still green?
