That looks better, I think. That hump in the fades is messing with my head though.

Heres how she turned out.  Drawing 47# @ 24".  500gr arrow(cut down the 555 gr to an easier number to work with) at around 142fps.  I might add some copperhead skins to just the last 6" of the tips and add some artwork, and a shelf.

Thanks DC, appreciate you sticking with me till the end on this one. )P(

Bob W i think your right.  I got aggressive with the rasp and target weight came in a bit shy so i left it.  I think when i built my first bows the whole "leave the tips non working for speed" theory became a little too engrained in my head.  While tillering my following bows i will chant the mantra, "let the outter thirds bend, let the outer thirds bend". Lol.  Its still probably gonna take some more "reminders" from you guys for it to stick.
