How do you know your limitations if you don't try Greg? ;)

Hey Guy..send it back n ill put some of that yeller stuff on yours too...see ya in under a month buddy :)
Thanks Howard ...well..its not as easily bent as osage,but it does correct/shape easily enough..just takes a lil more heat n time than osage. And locust likes to be tempered,but be careful not to overdo it or let the heat wrap around and scorch the back. I've had a couple locust staves I've taken out 90 degrees twist,corrected string tracking,n induced some reflex all in one heating/tempering session.

Turtle the limbs are +/- 1 7/8" wide in the working limbs.

Thanks Steve...unfortunetly yours is not #4...it lost a teeny bit more weight when I weighed it over the holidays...it should be ready soon tho to be bending. Osage and that design needs patience...bear with me

Very nice Chris. I can't imagine getting a locust bow to bend like that. If I built it it would be fretted tip to tip.  BTW, those tips are extremely sexy!  8)

You are a freaking animal blackhawk!  I love how you push the limits.  Looks like another all around great shooting beautiful bow.
