  Can't wait to see you finish her up...I will be checking in...I have some interest in this design and have never built one...Shock free and accurate tells me you are on point...

Thanks guys , Don these leaver bows make great hunting bows ,I maid a 68" one a couple seasons back ,its my favorite natural bow ,I learned threw bow evolution to keep my lowers longer & wider for my 30 1/2 draw , I exspected with this short one with only 20 1/4 working limb to take more set then It did but was amazed it didnt take much , the design is a solid one , If you pay attention to string angle & mass these bows are screamers , this one is pretty  much a copy of one of BowEds designs with modifications , if you go back and look threw some old threads of his you will get a lot of idea's for building them !

I never maid it as a late season hunt or much work on this one, do to work but got a chance to do a bit more today & shoot about 80 arrows I got the tips almost to thin as the started to flex as in the first FD pic 1 & a trip to the caul & heat solved the problem FD pic 2 , sure like the way this one shoots so far mass is 20.21 Oz hoping to get closer to 19 Oz still a lot of sanding and clean up
