Ken, if that shoots half as good as the 191 it is definately a screamer....beautifull profiles, braced and full-draw.

The bottom limb looks shorter and a lot stiffer. See the handle canted in the full draw pic? That can't be good, can it? How does it shoot? If it shoots alright, that's all that matters :)

love the holmie design. hard to see the profile in the full draw pic. would like to see it with a better background. I made a juniper holmie and love the way it shoots, just want to get a better look at your profile, my levers are shorter. maybe longer is better. great job on it.

thank you guys for the nice comments , JJ bows already gone or i would take some more pics the narrowed limbs are 12 inches long and total length is 66 if that helps, darksoul it might be a little stiff didnt think so though, it shoots fine and if i had a stiff limb it would go on the bottom.
