Great job on your bow. Those skins & tip overlays really compliment each other. Hope it makes meat for you this fall.

A very nice build. I hope it sees many arrows :)

Nice bow! Love the tips and skins. Would love to see the handle without leather, maybe you have a pic?

Those skins look great.  Nice work on the handle wrap as well.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. I've been real busy lately and haven't got to shoot it much. It's killing me not to!

I like it very much. Looks like it will be great for stalking around the woods.  :OK
