Dang son, you dropped the hammer on that one.  Very nice.  The ONLY thing I can see I do differently is to cut the string grooves just a little less steep at brace.  Beautiful bow, and the full draw in particular is dead nuts.  Fit and finish is great too.  Thanks for posting.

Your right David.  I've been looking at that for a few days now and have considered softening it up a little.  The actual string angle is not so steep because of the grooves filed into the belly side of the tip.   I do think it would wear the string a little less and look a little better if that line was more "gentle".   Thanks for the critique. ;)

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.
