Yeah! I like it. Great brace and full draw pics.  I like the clean look of those skin. Are they somewhat transparent?

There are a few thinner spots that seem a little transparent.

nice!! well you deffinently narrowed down who the recipiant of the bow will be because we now know that thier target weight is a 2 digit number therefore can deduce that the weight of the bow is under 100 pounds therefore the recipiant must be...           oh wait! that's pretty much everybody never mind  :D ;D ;D :D!!!!!      sweet bow, clean lines and nice bend, somebody's gonna be tickled pink...

That is a sweet bow.  Those skins look great on that osage.  Boy, I would be happy if that showed up on my doorstep!
