I like it Don . Looks like a snappy shooter. I am going to have to make some nocks like that. Can't believe it held all that reflex with no heat at all. Great job on that one don.

Thanks Bob...
Thanks Clint...

 I did use steam on a deflexed area in the bottom limb before tillering...

Smooth tiller, nice unbraced reflex and interesting character, now thats a nice weapon. And looks exactly like what Rich likes to shoot. Nicely done Don.

 Thanks DVS...
 Thanks Greg,  left it slightly positive on the top, so much going on in the lower limb...Feels balanced and pretty smooth at this point...

Looks good, Don. I like the handle to be just a tad bit stiff, like you have there.  That's my idea of a "bendy" bow!
