I have shot the bow about 200 times now and left it strung for 8 hours to "soak". It sprung back to the original shape and hasn't lost any of its original 2.5" reflex so I think it probably won't take any set.

Love the look of this bow! Love the contrasting layers in the handle. Nicely done.

Quick build update on my bow. Did a little more detail work on the handle and arrows pass. I decided to do something I’ve never done on a bow and make an ambidextrous shooter. Twice the work but hope it will be appreciated by recipient. I was on the fence about it and was gonna just do a standard rh bow with a hair pass glue up but wasn’t turned on by it I took it up a notch and decided to use the same blood wood scrap pieces from the tip overlays and had just enough to inset a pass on both right and left side. I then used a small glue on arrow rest on each side made from scrap pieces of Buffalo horn to tie in with the horn laminate overlays on the tips. I’m pretty satisfied with result. I then dressed it up with a black leather handle wrap to finish it off. The original string I made for this bow is not going to work Color wise so I’ll make a new red and black b55 string and call it done. Here’s a few pics
Cheers
