Paul, I am sure it is a fine bow. Backing a bow with rawhide is a really common place occurrence though i have never heard of buffalo being used. I would love to meet you at the Pokenhope. Thanks for the kind words, Marvin. Jawge
marvin:
Paul, Don't let ol Jawge fool ya into bettin on the 3D course. He looks like he couldn't hit the side of a barn but he'll take your lunch money before you can down a shot of his ouzo :)
George Tsoukalas:
LOL, Marvin. When are we going to get together? I can up to you or vice versa. Meet half way. You name it. May be some turkey hunting and stumps (well mostly stumps). :) Jawge
Marc St Louis:

Actually Justin I have made bows in the past that picked up 5" of set tillering them out and they shot like demons. Of course they started out with about 10" of reflex :). You are right though, a bow that starts out straight and picks up 5" of set is not likely to shoot very fast.
Pappy:
I think justin meant 5 in. of string follow,most will take set but if they stand straight or some reflex
they do fine,but 5 in. of string follow,that is another story. :)
