Nice bow. 

I don't know about everyone else but I always like to see and unbraced side profile of a bow but not many people seem to include that one

I am one of the guys who always shows the side profile of the bows. This is the one time that I did not. For some reason I did not get it on there. That shot sums up the whole bow more or less. Missed it this time.

I like it, but I think you should send it to me so that I can get a closer look at the tiller. ;D
