Here's one that broke at the fades (both of them) from dry fire. did i mention i hate linen strings ( think i broke six strings that day ) maybe i just got a bad roll of it who knows  Undecided.
Anyway, check out the wood patches. machined the cracks out and epoxied some osage in but it wanted to open up when the limbs flexed forwards so i put backstrap sinew on the belly and wrapped it with sinew. had to put skins on it to hide the scars. started at 65# but shaved a few off so its sitting at 60# now and shoots great.  Evil Scott

Silence is golden but duct tape is silver.

Should shoot with some authority...  Cool Cool Cool
I really love that limb shape; the whole thing looks fantastic!
